Amazon is still selling the physical version. Why would they pull the digital download and not the physical copy? Is it because there are different people responsible for it?

It's entirely possible that Amazon have just run out of keys for the digital version...

I thought it might be an automatic block based on 1-star reviews, but both products have the same 88% 1-star reviews right now.
Digital: 765/866 = 88.3%
DVD: 912/1038 = 87.9%

If there's an automatic block, it's more likely to be related to refund requests.

Is there a way to filter Amazon reviews by Verified Purchase? I'd love to see these stats with only people that we know have bought the game.
I'm just curious of a way to eliminate all the people who made up their mind before the game even came out.

By the time you receive a boxed copy the servers may be fixed.

From what I've read, EA is directly refunding customers of physical disks -- I guess they're forced by some law or another. No such luck for digital downloads: EA is refusing all refunds for them. Amazon dipped into their pockets for a while, returning money to disgruntled customers and taking a hit for EA, but clearly it was getting too much.
