GOG.com is the only digital vendor I use, and I do keep buying titles even though I am not likely to play them. The reason for that is that I view GOG.com as a service that I want to continue to use (off-site archive of titles I do and don't have on physical media), and if I don't give them some …

Pre-pandemic prices had dropped to $500.00US for a low-end 88-key digital piano, so I am inclined to agree with Shponglefan.

It's worth mentioning that GOG.com apparently is making the Unreal series of four games available at a 40% discount (at least in the U.S.). Choose the "Buy all series for" option.

As an alternative to your proposed approach, you might consider looking for no-cd procedures for specific games. As an example Descent II has come up previously on VOGONS: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=22527 . Here is another site with info on this topic. Each game will be different, but …

Be advised that there were a number of official and unofficial patches for BoS. The last official patch was Version 1.3 available here (the lower patch). Try that patch first. If that doesn't work, we can see about getting you a copy of one of the later unofficial patches from Mok.
