Codes in physical editions are one of the most useless goods in the world, purely offering something in physical stores which does not need to be bought there.

Some years ago (actually probably a decade or so), I fell for a game like that. My internet speed wasn't great at that time, but the game was pretty large, so I wanted to buy it on disc. However, when I opened the box at home I saw that nothing was included except a code. It wasn't fraud as it was clearly labeled on the box, but unsuspecting me didn't even know codes in physical boxes would exist.
