So what limitation would prevent you from downloading the install data when you need internet access to play this game? If you are doing so on a computer, what would limit you from saving that to physical media? Adoulin would fit on a CD, it's 400 MB, and blank CDs cost pennies each.

Burn the data yourself to physical media if you need tangible proof of possession of data. The benefit is you can make as many copies as you need. Hard drives and solid state storage are quickly becoming the defacto remaining standard for physical storgae of computer programs. Download-only is what a lot of companies are pushing for, and it makes ecological sense. Optical media isn't as dense in data capacity, and can't be recycled for more data. Read-only data storage made of plastic is inefficient. Digital-only also gives you the ability to choose what sort of physical media you want, and how many physical copies you want, you're not limited to their choice of media. That removes limitations from you. I remember when WotG released on DVD-only, and some people still didn't have DVD drives. It's not like Windows is a protected platform that prevents you from burning downloaded data to another media. All data is digital on a computer, media is just a container. What's wrong with putting it in a container of your choice rather than getting it in one type of container from the manufacturer?

Credit has its purpose. There's no way I'd be able to afford a house of my own without some line of credit, with houses in my state running 6 digits of cost. I take as little credit as I can, but for big purchases, it's the only way to afford an item that costs multiple years of income. I don't see what it has to do with your issue though.
