As it goes, Nintendo must love to be the center of controversy. Every move they make is heavily criticized by the internet. Sometimes, the critique has merit. But I've already explained in detail why I think Nintendo is sick of you. Not you, but definitely you, over there, in the bushes, waiting for articles like this.
Nintendo shadow dropped another explanation about Game Key Cards today. Of course, the internet is torn, and started trivial arguments amongst themselves. I feel like this is a happy medium between collecting physical media, even though there is no game on the card. The only way to access the game, however, is with the card. You download it once, and never have to do it again, if you don't delete it. You can also loan this card to other people, and they can download it, and play it, just like any other physical game.
I get the concern, but there's a very rare instance that a game is inaccessible after the first purchase. These games aren't linked to your account, like digital games. They can be used on any Nintendo Switch 2 system. I'm just very confused about why these are a bad thing. Anyway, here's the video. Talk amongst yourselves.
