>the eventual "gold edition" of the game with DLC will be paid and that will be a different story

It would be nice if you had a limited physical edition of the game. I wish CafePress still had the option to sell custom CDs because you could make special physical versions of your game. I'm not aware of any services that currently do that (outside of LRG, but good luck trying to strike a deal with them), but having a physical edition of your game would be really cool.

You could also burn them yourself and label them with a custom labeler and sell them at conventions/events (albeit in limit quantities, of course). On Windows, all you need to do is at an autoplay.ini file at the root of the disc and the game, launcher, or installer will run automatically when the disc is inserted, just like how all the PC games used to work before digital distribution. I don't know if Linux has anything similar to that though.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @PhenomX6 From what I remember from using Linux back in the days when every PC still had a CD/DVD player or burner, Linux doesn't do that.
At best Gnome 2.x, KDE 3.x, or Xfce would auto-mount the CD, but you still need to manually execute the contents of it.
