Shit I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with 10 DVDs and let me tell you… that’s something I don’t want back.
Like if you want to provide a physical offline version give me a small USB drive or a Blu-ray but that one I know it’s not common outside consoles and movies.
And you needed a Microsoft Account and activate the CD Key anyway…which actually didn’t allow to install the game downloading it. Like ok I get it the DVDs was for people to be able to do an offline install, ok… But don’t force me to use them if I have access to internet… Which actually you needed to setup the account and activate the CD key online anyway, the DVD only helped reduce your bandwidth usage.
Who came up with this man??? Plus you need the first disk inserted to play like the old times… you have the damn CD key and Microsoft account to validate wtf… I swear… It was like travelling back in time but with extra hassles of today world on top.
5 (6?) 3.5in floppies to get Dune 2 loaded on my Amiga 2000; at least I could take the time between disks to go to the bathroom, grab a snack, read a book etc. 😅
Remember having to stop mid install to put the next disc in?
Windows 95 had a version that came on 30 floppy disks.
NOT fun.

Still the only RTS I ever actually liked. Man that menu was mind blowing at the time.
