As both a printer and a graphic designer, I have to say ---> THIS
There's no such thing as one perfect solution. If you REALLY care, you'll apply multiple solutions. Put it on DVD, then put it on at least one hard drive, then put it into print. If both DVDs and hard drive are ruined then at least you can reproduce the paper documents.

They develop violent feelings but they take it all out on their fictional characters. They stop going outside (thousands of years of children spent their days outside because they lacked TV and vidya) so they aren't around other people even if they have all kinds of aggressive hormones flowing to compel them to pick a fight with the next person they see.

Mac malware: type in your password* if you want to install a system-wrecker.

Linux malware: type in your other and more important password if you want to install a system-wrecker.

Windows malware: use internet explorer and navigate to mainstream sites with hidden malicious PDFs or java bombs if you want to install a system-wrecker.

Tell people how low your price can possibly go, but have a plan to charge many times that amount. Good players can receive countless discounts, trolls and griefers would be well advised to take their bile elsewhere if they want to continue qualifying for said discounts.

To put it bluntly, HR is unwilling to do what it takes to acquire and retain the "real" developers. They want some kid who will work for peanuts, not someone who actually has weight and worth in the market. They tried hiring that experienced guy; he ran off to a competitor who offered him a better salary and better benefits. Now they've learned their lesson and they're sticking with the kids whom they know will never receive a competing job offer and cannot command a comfortable salary.
