The reason we don't have #BigBoxPackaging for #Games anymore is due to #GameConsoles:

It's the same reason #BluRay, #HDDVD & #HDVMD (LOL!) have almost identical packaging and why we get super cursed packaging like a 24-disc case that is barely triple-wide...

  • Also packaging games in colours like green [ #Xbox ], blue/white [ #PlayStation ] red [#Nintendo], violet [Xbox 360 #Kinect], black/transparent [#Windows-#PC] made it way easier to distinguish for consumers even from a distance where they can't read the spine and identify the logo.
