It depends on your setup. If you're using the disc version, you can play Portal 2 without needing it on the optical drive constantly—just load the disc when needed.

You likely can find ways to enable those features in Steam, even if you're not used to Portal 2—it's definitely worth a shot.

It seems uncertain, but you might be able to install it using a CD key provided in the game case on Steam. I downloaded the disc version of Portal after getting the disk copy.

Game disks include a code and installation files. You don't have to store a disk. #PCMASTERRACE

I didn't think so... but everyone's different. Friends would sometimes borrow things without asking, assuming it was fine, until they realized it wasn't. If you didn't lend something, family would think it was something else and hide it in another case, never letting it out or talking about it again. "Where did this CD go?" That's the usual reply—maybe I left it somewhere? If I did, it's probably still in my room with my CDs. After years, it shows up unreadable because someone used it alone, like a stand-in, and I didn't notice. And then there are those devices that wear them out over time... Plus, many times you'd prefer the usual way things work, thankfully we're here! Hate the discs, hate how they fit in their tiny holes! But as someone from the late '80s, I might have just had to go through this longer than others.

This feels like a unique take on using discs. While digital distribution is clearly superior for PCs, physical media once played a key role in drawing gamers to consoles. The DRM restrictions and constant online requirements are driving people away from consoles.
