It does. It means they send us the code via email so they don't have to send us the disc via post, which costs money.
Not that confusing really.
Usually when something costs postage, the buyer pays for it, not the seller. Even if they are buying physical copies in bulk, they would still have to pay for shipping to where ever they store them. Their disclaimer states that because they are digital, their shipping costs are significantly less. Because their shipping costs are less, the buyer pays less.
Anyway, my point (which should have been easy enough to follow) is that it makes no sense that they would be buying the "physical copies" of the game; aka the actual discs. In fact, it makes more sense that because they are digital, and they don't send out physical copies of the games, they have no need for the actual physical copies, just the inserts or promotional items that come with videocards. I mean, do they just throw away everything else that came with a box if that's the case? This could just be a matter of semantics too; and it's really not a big deal either way.
There's also this article, that makes it seem even less likely that they are actually buying physical copies.
Will be interesting to see if my trusty (old-timey) i7 920 at 3.4Ghz & R9 290X can handle 60fps 1080P, Dark Souls 2 was no problem with highest settings.
It was also a last gen title, but it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to get 60fps, even if that requires turning graphical options down on mid-ranged cards.
