Today, hardware virtualization is getting more and more serious and popular. (See the new x86/x64 CPU's with built in virtualization support.) Running a game off a disk image file, rather than a physical disk, is also one form of hardware virtualization. And unlike the other forms, it makes execution actually even faster!
