GOG brings back “big box” PC games, one printable template at a time
Summary
Ars Technica reports on GOG's Preservation Program reviving the nostalgia of big box PC games by offering downloadable 3D models and printable packaging templates for five titles. The project, done in partnership with the Big Box Collection, provides GLB 3D box models and printable templates (PDF, SVG, AI) to help preserve physical-era packaging in a digital format. The piece situates this within the broader shift away from physical game releases and highlights DRM-free installers as part of GOG’s preservation-focused approach.
