Build/Buy an AMD machine.
Install SteamOS.
Alternatively for 1, you can wait for SteamOS to be working on Intel or Nvidia systems and build whatever you want after that. Or just use regular linux.
Bazzite (which is essentially SteamOS, but on a Fedora, instead of Arch [btw], base) works just fine – excepting Big Picture / Console Mode, which is still buggy – for both Intel and Nvidia.
I mean, Valve doesn’t sell games on physical media in the Steam Store either that I’m aware.
Does anyone sell PC games on physical media?
I’m not 100% sure that it’s the physical media its self that’s the issue, it more so that the digital versions require verification from a server to be playable.
Xbox and PlayStation can shut the server down and your digital game becomes useless.
Steam I think this might be a issue, but I don’t remember hearing this happening yet.
GOG you buy the game and get all the files and executables, so if GOG goes out of business your game still run locally.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Valve has said if they / Steam go out of business that there would be a window for you to download all your games DRM-free.
Last time I bought them was the Close Combat series from Slitherine/Matrix Games, which does war games.

Looks like they stopped last year:

Last game I can recall buying for PC and physical was Farcry. I never had to many either but the rest were all from the 90s like diablo, and command and conquer red alert. It all stopped when half life 2 dropped which was basically when steam became what it is now and that was 2004.
I think mine might have been Oblivion. Specifically the Shivering Isles expansion. Or The Orange Box. Oblivion and TOB came out in 2007, but Shivering Isles was at least a year after.
My friend in middle school had Skyrim on a PC disk.
Just try and sell Linux gaming to people when GTA6 is coming out for PC and Linux can’t play it. Good luck.
GTA 5 runs perfectly on Linux out of the box. So do all AAA releases. What are you basing your assumptions that GTA 6 won’t work on? Have you even played games on Linux in the last 6 months?
Unless you’re talking about GTA 6 Online, your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. And if you do in fact mean GTA 6 Online - again, go to therapy and cure your addiction to predatory money extractors.
Telling people to stop playing the games they want to play because you don’t like them sure is something.
