In this case, digitized occurs when they take a normally “analogue” game and make a computerized version of it.

An analogue game is a game you play in the real world using real stuff. For example:
 * gin rummy: is a card game played with a deck of 52 playing cards between two real, physical people.
 * Monopoly: is a board game played with a pre-printed gameboard and various pieces: money, player pieces, instruction cards, houses, hotels, etc.

A digital  version means that, instead of playing the game with real stuff in the real world, you play it on a machine (e.g., smartphone (e.g., iPhone), tablet (e.g., iPad), computer (e.g., PC), etc.)

I hope that that explains things. &mdash; Spike  Toronto  03:27, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
