Just Deamon Tool the disk.

2) You don't have to worry about the CD getting scratched, damaged or lost. If any of these happen you would usually have to buy the game again.

Many games will not run if they find emulation software running on the machine. Yes, there are additional utilities that will "hide" these applications - but, only until new software comes out to defeat those utilities. Some do not want to have to find the newest emulation software patch in order to run their new game.

Again, I'm not advocating downloads over a traditional disc. I'm just saying there are benefits. Currently you can CHOOSE which method you want to follow. Companies will make their decisions based upon financial concerns - i.e. if they will lose significant sales by going download only then they won't do it - for now.

But, just because YOU prefer a CD, don't tell me not to buy the game through download. I will purchase it how I please.

How is this any different from buying the DVD version of a game? The DVD versions sell for the same amount (if not more) than the CD version. They justify this by throwing on additional content such as demo videos or some other useless crap I will never look at. But, the production costs for a single DVD are a lot less than multiple CDs. So, do you buy the CD version because you think the DVD version should sell for less? I don't.

But it is alot easier to get the games that way and also then the Devs make more money. Your logic is bad.
