Putting a steam game on a CD disc

[Hoads2047]

I got a game on steam and i had to download it and it was a huge game (65+ GB) and i have the cover for it. 

So i was wondering if i could get a bunch of discs and put it on that so i can put the cover to good use. Also i don't want to use up a USB and my steam backup doesn't work.

Thanks

I mean sure, at 700mb you'll need somewhere around 90 CDs (or 15 DVDs) but theoretically it will work however your gonna have to sit there and remember where you were up to on a good by file basis for every folder contained in the game.

 

Honestly it's just not worth the effort.

You could, except that you would need to fragment the game into multiple chunks, and then right each chunk to a separate disk, then repeat in inverse when you want to pull it off again. And after that, Steam has to recognize the game and do its consolidation magic. But, long story short, yes, it would work.

OP states that he cannot use Steam Backup (though he doesn't say why) and you're assuming he has a BD-RW drive.
