        That’s so wild, I had a pirated copy that was a single disc install. How’s that work?

            Must’ve been. Why didn’t they do commercial releases that way, are DVDs that expensive?

              At the time we all had CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs were expensive. It’d be a few more years til PC games started to be shipped on DVD and Steam was in it’s baby stage at the time. My copy of San Andreas was a DVD-ROM, but pretty much every other game I bought was CD until Civ 5 which did come on DVD… and a steam code which was required this making the DVD useless haha.
