Does anyone else want Glitch to offer physical releases of their shows?

I know they're free on YouTube, but I think their shows deserve to be viewed in the best possible quality, with no compression artifacts that gets introduced by streaming video. Plus being able to support their work and getting a physical copy of the shows would be nice. I think their material would be for 4K UHD blu-ray. They render and upload stuff to YT in 1440, and doing a basic upscale to 4K would look pretty good. And stuff like TADC episode 7 could be presented in its variable frame rate presentation >!(The part where Jax abstracts is presented in 60 FPS on YouTube)!< because 1080p Blu-ray doesn't support 60 FPS video unless you interlace it. Come on Glitch, my shelf yearns for a physical copy of Murder Drones and Digital Circus (when it's done). And if Glitch can't make it themselves, I'm sure a distributor like Arrow Video or Discotek Media would be able to do a good job.

Plus, they could easily distribute the surrounds out of the looks of their shows. Physically. Something that is really finicky to properly do on YouTube. Although the amazing digital circuits is seemingly mixed in Dolby Pro Logic, which is a matrixed surround sound format, where you can run the audio through a Dolby Pro Logic decoder and get surround sound out of it. And it sounds pretty good, but having a discreet multi-channel mix would be even better.
