This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.

They simply shared a post titled:

Shall we? ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ’ฟ

they cost about the same though. An Asus slim external 8x DVD usb 2.0 writer costs $50. a 256gb thumb drive costs $50. And i'm using 256GB as an example for modern games that can potentially be well over 100gb. Add to the fact said DVD drive is going to last a lot longer than a USB thumb drive. those thumb drives have a lifespan of like 5 years.

    In this specific case, that's not apples to apples since most of the games on GOG are very small.

    It's kind of hilarious to imagine, but I can imagine doing a "BYO thumb drive" sale for physical media. They could even mail it back in the big box
