But what if I don't like the consequences of my actions?

      I’d classify the digital copy as digital, and the disc as physical if it has the game on it.

      This is pretty straight forward man. Did you download the game from a server? Digital. Did you play it or install it from a physical medium? Physical.

        Did you play it or install it from a physical medium? Physical.

        So you agree that it’s related to the medium then. Not to the distribution.

        As you mention, a distributed box without a disc counts as digital. A distributed box with a disc counts as physical.

            You mentioned:

            This intentionally misses the point.

            It’s physical and digital distribution.

            You now mention:

            Where do the GAME files come from? Disc or cartridge? Physical. Internet? Digital.

            So is the definition of digital/physical related to the distribution, or to the medium? My original comment was that it was related to the medium, which is in line with your last comment, but it doesn’t match with your initial reply.
