Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet.

Pay a premium for a physical copy of your game, and the cartridge may not contain the actual game. Only on Nintendo Switch 2.

Yes, and did you read wha ti said?... I agree with what you just said. The positive of physical card is that you can lend them. I still think it's a horrible product, and I'm afraid this will be the end of physical games.

That’s a really dumb take.

I agree with what you just said.

🤔

The dumb take is that this is a bad idea because you might damage the card. That's silly because that's just the trade off of portability.
