I hate the trend of selling vinyl but not selling Compact Disc.

  It's a subscription service! When the vinyl wears out, buy another!

  In this case the CD exists everywhere. Just buy a copy of Quake on CD.

    Sure but… - normies (not derogatory) wouldn't know that. - original Quake CDs are of limited supply since new ones aren't being pressed. - your CD player has to be smart enough to recognize Track 1 as data and skip it or else it will blast your ears with two minutes of loud static before the music starts. - the audio tracks on the Quake CD were mastered with pre-emphasis and your player has to support applying de-emphasis equalization or else it won't sound right. I did check my copy when writing this comment and the TOC does at least flag `PRE`, so supporting players should do it automatically, but still there are loads of ways this can go wrong because it's a relatively niche CD feature and because most modern software players won't handle it at all: https://www.studio-nibble.com/cd/index.php?title=Pre-emphasis_(release_list) https://www.studio-nibble.com/cd/index.php?title=Pre-emphasi... https://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Pre-emphasis#Pre-emphasis_on_audio_CD_in_computers https://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Pre-emphasis#...
