The collapse of physical PC games needs to be studied. PC gaming went from having the best physical copies of games that you could buy, to being completely digital in such a short amount of time. I think Steam and Games for Windows Live were 2 of the biggest reasons for the collapse of physical PC games, but I'll never understand how we went completely from this:

to being basically 100% digital in such a short amount of time. I still have a lot of my PC games from back in the day, but they're purely for collection purposes unless I decide to invest a Windows XP PC eventually lol.

Started to go downhill with Windows Live games. Which are all now paperweights thanks to MS. It's why I won't support Ubisoft even if their games were not trash. Internet required to install SP games. WL was the same.
