Have people given up on feigning outrage over the game key cards? I haven't heard as many people talk about it since the Switch 2 is an unambiguous smash hit at this point.
>>
No because it's the only "advantage" consoleniggers have over PChads. They're seething because they can't bitch about digital sales anymore, and are now part of the "rental" club.
>>
I’m never buying a cuckcard.

I mean it just is what it is. Nintendo have clearly decided to force these despite how unpopular they are and that's the end of the conversation. I haven't bought a game key card and I won't ever buy one.

>>
>>740302524
There's not much to talk about. I didn't buy them then, I still won't buy them now. If fucking Hollow Knight can afford to put their game on a 64 GB cartridge, then there's no reason why Square Enix can't do the same for Dragon Quest. I understand there are cases like Final Fantasy VII Remake where the game is literally too large for a 64 GB card, though.

Think the game key cards are a barrier to entry or is it the low level slop they’ve been releasing? Both?

the benefit is that they're way cheaper than physicals, so i got some shit for 20 bucks.

>>740302524
I'll never buy one and they're for cucks, there's nothing more to say
>>
>>740302524
>feigning outrage
No one was feigning anything. They're worse than buying a physical copy and worse than buying a digital copy. The only advantage over a digital copy is that you can sell it while having way more downsides than digital despite being a digital copy. Anyone advocating for it actively hates people who want physical copies because limited run companies who sell on low margins can somehow manage to get them for all their releases just fine.

Outside of Pokopia they all shelfwarm constantly to the point that you regularly see GKC games on fairly heavy discounts if you watch a site like Slickdeals. The only one that gets heavy discounts that is on cartridge is currently Daemon X Machina 2 but we know that flopped so badly Marvelous (I think it was Marvelous) had to mention it across the board since it wasn't just on the Switch 2.

Japan is seemingly the only one actually eating the GKCs up whereas America and Europe seem to reject it.

It's no wonder every nintendo game is unanimously agreed to be pretty shitty and forgotten about after 2 weeks. That's why Prime 4 wasn't a surprise at all.

You literally cannot argue with Nintendo Cultist. You should really just ignore them. They became the exact thing they hated with the Sony Cultist of the past.

Steam has 150 million monthly active users, so it's about the same market size as the switch 1 had in terms of raw unit sales. This doesn't account for things like people who no longer play their Switch, so the odds are more people are playing on Steam this month than one of the latest two Nintendo consoles.

>they cannot be worse than digital
They take up your physical cartridge slot despite having to download the whole game to your system.
Cartridge damage means it's gone whereas digital copies are tied to the account and can be downloaded to multiple machines. Losing an account is much harder than losing a cartridge though unless you're a child or have some really teething animals it's an act of God if that happens to even have a cartridge get broken or lost.
There are limited copies available.

Nope. Literal penniless indie games are using proper cards now.
The technology is new and only got cheaper thanks to Nintendo mass ordering the cartridges (similar to capacitative touchscreens becoming cheaper thanks to Iphone).
Nintendo is literally pushing through new tech and making it a mass product. You can thank them now little faggot.
As prices get cheaper, almost all companies (except some that will always be against the user) will adopt the proper physicals.

There are people writing fan-fics here about how Miyamoto is the literal devil and buttfucking anyone who has an idea about Mario.

It still sucks and it will suck even more the bigger the games get.

Even full on physical games are still just licensed rentals. They're giant fingers by the company that dictate how you're allowed to play your game.

>no, you may not play your game on non-approved hardware
>you may not make backup copies of the game
>you may not modify the game in any way, it's our intellectual property

Like, once you move to full on digital, free from shackles of launchers and DRM, physical just seems like a cuck cage. At the most, you just put it on a shelf to complete a collection, but that's it. Practically the plastic is useless.

t. kept 100+ physical games, but hasn't touched them in years because of the ease of just emulating them instead.
>>
>>740302524
I have like 60+ Switch 1 games. I'm not buying a Game CuckCard. The only Switch 2 game I own is Mario Kart World which was $40 for a digital key and even that annoyed me. When 3rd party games don't sell as well as Playstation 5 don't blame me, I would support them if they were physical releases.

Incorrect, memory space adds up so even if corpos got greedy and tacked on 10 dollars per cart, that's still cheaper than having to buy multiple SD cards.

As a capitalist I disagree with giving goyim the right to sell or trade games they buy so I still make as much noise about these being a scam or a ripoff as I can.

Fellow capitalistchads: goyim keep bringing up that every game commercially-released in the past 15 years has needed a day-one patch, making keycards identical in functionality to what we refer to as "real" game cards. We need to stop the goyim from sharing this message, so you have any suggestions how to downplay it? The best I've come up with is to say that the games I play (which I carefully avoid naming) never needed a patch, but this is such an obvious and flimsy lie only blacks ever seem to fall for it.

Whatever cope you come up with to defend this cancer doesn't change the fact that external storage for Switch 2 is absurdly expensive. I bought a 1TB micro SD express card for my Switch 2 for like fucking £180 and after transferring all of my digital Switch 1 games and installing updates for all my physical Switch 1 games its nearly halfway full already. That's only one year in the system's life cycle and I haven't even bought a single goy key card (never will unless they're actually dirt cheap). If 99% of third parties continue paddling this shit then sooner rather than later you'll not only need to swap out your goy key cards but also your numerous micro SD express cards (which you'll pay out the ass for), which is retarded as fuck.

It's strange because the main benefit of GKC is being able to immediately tell if the physical release isn't on the cartridge. People have complained for years about the countless Playstation and Xbox games that dont have the full game on the disc, and the issue has become so bad that there's now a website documenting each game's release. Nintendo finally creates a standard to segregate these games from actual physical releases, and people instead get pissed and blame them for what third parties have been getting away with.
