Are blu-ray drives even standard on gaming pcs anymore? I have no idea. They sure aren't on laptops, you're lucky to get an rj45 port on a laptop.
On PC the majority of "physical" games is just a steam code in a cheap plastic box. One of the reasons no retailers are selling PC games

What disc will this game fit on? I'd like to buy a stack of them to backup my media library.
The disc also acts as a DRM check and allows you to download the full game from there. No disc means no resell. You can't get a pre-owned copy. You can't lend it to a friend. If you lose access to your console account, you lose the game. Fork over another $100 to continue playing.

back when star field came out,i bought(for$85)what i thought was the deluxe edition dvd disc but when it arrived all it had was a code to download the 125GB data from their store page.
This is a tough one because on one hand I'm old school I like to own physical things. Going to the music store and looking at, and then buying, CDs was my favorite. I like my CD and BluRay collection
On the other hand, it's a waste of money and material to make a physical copy of something you can sell digitally. Plus you got to package it, ship it, etc...
It's better for the environment if we don't make physical products
Half of the games on steam don't have physical releases anymore. I don't know what IGN is on about
Most of the games on Steam don't have Rockstar's budget.
