Most of the time physically, it is just a code to activate it on steam.
On PC the pirates says, what you can do with it. On the console the company says if you own this movie/game you BOUGHT or not. ( See the Playstation movie "incident" where Sony removed many movies some people BOUGHT, but at least the backlash made Sone reconsider the BS they wanted to pull of. )
P.S. Yeah, yeah i know. "It iSnT BuYiNg YoU OnLy PuRchAsE a LiCenSe tO ThE PrOdUcT" But still its such b.s. that you declare it as BUYING instead of RENTING, Sony have them on their neck of the console gamers, because piracy or third party stores are not existing so they can pull of those stunts.
