    Am i too young to get it? Every modern game is online only and does not sell on disks. Modern pcs does not even have a disk drive.

      Lol, I think you’re literally who the joke is about.

      Games used to come on physical media, and they used to include everything on the disk (or cartridge) day 1. There was no "download a patch’ because the consoles couldn’t connect to the internet.

        That, and also because i live in different culture. I live in eastern european country, computers came here quits late and not everybody could afford them, so there just hasnt been a large amount of pc users to form a disk gaming community. And when the internet came, everyone just pirated games because there was no other way to get games. Even the disks often were pirated.
