A:Answer You got the physical box. Most games nowadays require you to have an account with management platforms such as Steam and Origin to redeem the content. Even if it did provide you a CD, it wouldn't be the full game download, it'd just be a simple code to redirect you the page to download from the appropriate platform. On top of that, most people, like myself no longer have CD drives; I'm actually kinda glad that they just sent the code. Whether they sent the code via email or like this, it would have been the same redeeming. This way, you just get the box to display. I only went with the physical copy because if you had some perks with BestBuy like their GamersClub, you received a 20% off physical games. Personally, I feel that they should probably move towards extending that discount towards digital copies because physical copies create more waste...
