It's practicality, plus the GOG releases are optimised to work with todays OS's. The difference is with modern games. Example, I bought the disc with the otherwise available downloadable content for Fallout 3. It's been available on Games for Windows Live for a while, but I prefer a physical copy. In the case of the GOG stuff, its due to lack of choice.

Actually it is. In reality buying the box is only a fetish. There is no real point to owning a physical copy because systems like GOG and Steam stay without you until the account is closed. It outlasts physical copies. Its also wasted space. I'm talking on a factual level and not opinion. Its only practical if want it to be practical, but Digital Copies are a lot more practical than physical copies.
