I realize this may be a silly question, please forgive me. I purchased Bloodstained from Fangamer.com. I got the $100 tier, which includes:

* A physical copy of the game for XBOX ONE, PS4, Switch, PS VITA, STEAM (PC/Mac/Linux) or DRM-Free GOG (PC/Mac/Linux) featuring special backer-exclusive content and slipcase
* A keychain
* Lapel pin
* Soundtrack CD (and digital album)
* A retro strategy booklet
* Your name in the credits!

I want to play this game on my PC as I don't have any current gen consoles, plus what if in ten or twenty years I want to play this game and my PS4 is dead? So I choose GOG.com.

I don't ever really use GOG.com, so like, I don't get the "physical copy of the game". Isn't GOG.com just digital downloading? I emailed fangamer this question:

I have a quick question. I ordered the physical GOG copy of the game. GOG is online-based, so what does it mean by getting a "physical copy"? I assume that whoever chooses GOG or Steam that the game will just show up on their online account. Is this the case?

And their answer:

You will actually be getting a physical box, with the Kickstarter exclusive slipcase and a disc with the game data on it. This will be accompanied by an activation code for the game. You will be sent the same code via e-mail when the game is first released, so you can also choose to download it. Let us know if you have any other questions!

So I'm getting a physical box with a disc with the game on it, but for what? To put into your computer's CD-ROM? But then the rep said that "You will be sent the same code via e-mail when the game is first released, so you can also choose to download it". So they mean I can download the game to play on GOG.com so that I don't have to open the physical box right? If that's the case, then why is there a backer option for $125 that includes everything in my tier PLUS a digital copy?

So confusing. Ultimately I just want to be able to play the game on my PC by downloading it via GOG.com, and not have to open my "physical box".

Hello.

If you pledged for a physical GOG tier, you will first receive a digital code for the game (which will also act as its early access key and will be upgraded to the full version when the game releases) and later you will also receive the disc which will contain the first fully-released version. Further updates will require that you redeem the GOG code you received beforehands.

If you pledge for the $125 or $175 tier, you will receive an additional digital copy to give to a family member or friend.

Ahh I see. The key word that they left out was "additional". I was wondering why in the world there would be a $125 tier for a "digital copy" if I already receive one with the $100 tier.

If anyone (Tauto) would like to add an additional explanation that would be great. Thank you so much for answering my question!
