Digital downloads are great for people living in countries that cannot buy the game at a store or get it delivered. And the limited download and activation thing isn't a problem. I have downloaded a few digital versions myself and can reinstall them on my computer as many times as I like. All you have to do is:

a) burn the install .exe onto a disk

b) install game

c) activate (register) the game online to be able to play it

d) run regedit and find the game directory plus the security activation code directory for that game (if the game required online activation)

e) right click on each of those directories and export them, then burn the registries to the same backup disk

f) each time you need to reinstall, just click on the registry files you saved and no online activation is necessary.

It's that simple. If you ever need to reinstall the game on your computer, you can do it unlimited times. You don't have to download it and activate it each time. And it's legal since you already purchased the game and only keep it on your computer.

I would personally rather buy the physical game with the manual, reference card, disk, etc. But this is also an option for those who can't.
