DVD Boxes for PC Games

The industry is pushing for all PC games to come in DVD boxes. They don’t think that all games should come on DVD’s, instead of forcing us to swap CD’s constantly to play a game, thus wearing them out faster and increasing the chances of getting a corrupted/scratched disc. Save them money, but don’t let us save any money, is their motto, apparently.

The Interactive Entertainment Media Association (or IEMA to its close friends) is doing just that. The group today announced a new packaging scheme for PC games, offering a PC banner for the top of the box, a new “PC Icon” design (you know — the rectangle in the corner with “PC” in big white letters), and recommending DVD-style boxes similar to those used for console titles.

These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
