ACTUALLY THERE IS SOM.... oh sorry

Actually there is someone who made such business work.
Check out www.popcap.com and try insaniaquarium or bookworm, which I believe to be their most popular games.

Popcap's most popular game is, I believe, Bejeweled (a.k.a. Diamond Mine). I've played Insaniquarium but didn't like the massive clickfest required.

Flash animators already sell DVDs of their work; I do not see CDs with interactive media on them out of the question. However, in order to really make money with a product that has to be mailed at a costly price in order to cover shipping, the creator of the product had better have mega-popularity.

-Small- web games will most likey remain, for the most part, free, since no one in their right mind forks over $14 USD to play one level of Sonic (laggy sound when graphics are set on high quality included!), especially since their friend that bought it can just send them a copy. There are other ways to make money with Flash-based applications. Take Adventure Quest for example. Mmkay, so it's not an impressive game, but the creators have got the right idea. Instead of selling the software itself, they sell the ability to get the best out of it (pay to play options). This method is particularly good because it safeguards against piracy (AQ's "game" is not a single .swf file that functions on its own).
