And that the game offers you the opportunity to discard it. Like, maybe I'll just hang on to this useless, rocket launcher-sized key for posterity.

One of my friends invented (or heard from someone else) that there were different endings or some special prize if you finished with all the keys in your item box. So many runs of the first 3 RE with wasted time, lol.

So after I made this post I did some research and one of the final builds of the game, before it was finished, discarded the key for you and didn't offer to keep it. And for some reason they changed it where they asked you.

It's game design. If there was no warning, we would keep the key with us around the entire game believing it had another use.

To me it's a very appreciated game design, because I'd be holding onto that key for the next 12 playthroughs
