    Digital distibution sources, such as Amazon and Steam, keep a record of your purchases. This way, if your game gets deleted or you buy a new computer or your hard drive crashes or whatever...you can reinstall it. There is a limit to this, so you don't go around logging in on your friends computers and give it to 100 people in a week, but - within reason - you'll never need to purchase a hard copy.
