Gamers are no longer solely young people who enjoy video games. The average age of a gamer is increasing as generations grow up with video games as a part of life.

Everything is being digitized today and most of the games are bought and downloaded from the internet on platforms such as Steam, Origin, Uplay and so on. Sometimes, games are not accessible to everybody due to different problematic factors such as slow internet connection which will take up to two or three days to finish downloading a large file game. Other individuals prefer the disc version to avoid waiting to download again after it got deleted because of various factors like losing interest or low storage, and having a disc copy is a safe and fast method to reinstall the game. Additionally, there are individuals that are still using a DVD-RW drive and still want to take advantage of that hardware so the disc version will be the most fiable option.

The solution to this problem is to bring back the disc version games via an online system that lets you buy the desired title and use it offline. The development of the system includes creating a system with a database and a business logic part where the options can be displayed for different game titles, the user being able to order them and get them delivered.

Therefore, the decision of creating an online store for physical games has been taken. According to the statistics, this is still a big lucrative area which will be helping gamers collect and enjoy their games on a cd.
