Have you ever bought a physical copy of a pc game instead of digital?

Half Life 2 on compact disc.

Back in my day
>cough, wheeze
we didn't have your newfangled "digital purchases."
Our DRM was typing in line 5, paragraph 2, page 5 from the manual into the installer.

Not in the last decade

Yeah, in the 1990s-2000s.

This topic was confusing to me until I realized that people who are browsing this site now don't even remember that.

What is Starforce and all the other awful shit that came before Steam?

The Orange Box.
...fuck, does time fly.

Bought Bad Company 2 before it was released on Steam

Yes. Before Steam it was normal.
Although, I also got collector's editions of Witcher 2 and 3, and recently my wife bought me RE7 in a box.
