Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

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.

No, and I don’t know how you can’t understand this. Where do the GAME files come from?

  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.

    This all started because you said that games on discs are digital games.
