Someone made physical media for their digital games. Do you find that cool, or just cumbersome? (www.youtube.com)

That person created NFC tags that can be scanned to automatically start a game when the tag is scanned.

The tag is added to a physical small box, cartridge-sized

Regarding ownership of the games files, they made a point about it at some point in the video, saying that they now only buy games from GoG to be able to just store the .exe files, DRM-free.

The tags only launch the game? They do not contain the game? So it is not actually physical media then is it?
