The difference is, that a CD/DVD version plus packaging would have to be mass produced, published & distributed. Which all costs money. so the store is not going to replace it if you lose it. And let say one did! how many people would buy the game from the store, only to have a friend return with the receipt claiming to be the original buyer to get a free copy. It would be very hard to track.
Internet purchases are a whole different thing, you create an account, pay with credit/debit card or paypal which is all linked up to your credentials, your IP is logged as well, so they have a pretty good idea who you are.
And the main point is, the files are downloaded from their server, no jewel case or DVD case with pretty pictures, no CD/DVD printing costs, just the cost of bandwidth for the download of the files.
Any company that respects their customers enough would do this without a problem.
These sound like a bunch of money hoarding b£s$%6ds
next time think before you type!
Rant over!
