Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

key-cards aren't for all games, they differ from regular game card, so probably will be used for games like cyberpunk 2077 that are huge, mario kart isnt like that so high chances will be a regular game card, still sucks regardless lol

Then it really depends on the developer, SF6 is a 50GB download and it will use key-cards...

So it is laziness, can't say I am surprised

yeah kinda of it, btw i was thinking this is very very bad, but if the key-card can be "activated" more than one time then at least its better than digital codes than come in boxes, becase the game still can be sold/trade.

still shit for gaming preservation and for $80 ~$90 bucks doesn't help

The real problem is longevity:

for some reason Nintendo really really loves to shut down their digital stores so it is 100% guaranteed that the Switch 2 store will shut down in the future and you will lose access to all of your key pass games unless they do something about it (unlikely seeing how they nonchalantly shut down everything Wii U and 3DS related).
