How did they get away with this? It's the code in a box with extra steps.
You could give tendies a paper slip with the name of the game on it and a one time use code and they would say it holds value just because the slip also has Nintendo written on it
>>742253430It’s a code you can resell and doesn’t expire
>>742253430All this bitching about GKC really got exposed as fake after GTA 6.At least you can resell the GKC and they don't expire, GTA 6 is literally a code in a box.
>>742253430More physical than GTA6 will ever be lmao.
Tendies. You can't even play GTA 6 even if you wanted too. Sit down
>>742253604This
>>742254060>You can't even play [GOYSLOP]not quite the searing indictment you thought it was
>>742254060>Tendies. You can't even play GTA 6 even if you wanted too. Sit down
>>742253604/thread
>>742253430I can't sell a code after I've used it. This keeps copies circulating in the secondhand market which puts downward pressure on prices. These things are gonna be cheap as fuck after not very long, I've already picked up a secondhand GKC at a tiny price in factThe other advantage is that since the data is on system memory rather than on the cartridge the loading times are better, which is meaningful for some titles. GKCs are garbage compared to physical imo but they do have a few advantages over both CIB and physical such that they're not strictly worse than either. I pretty solidly prefer this to CIB. Would rather just play a game on steam than buy a CIB
>>742254060why would i want to play westoid slop?i didnt buy trannypunk just because of the switch or FF7demake, what makes you think i would buy gta6?
>>742253604GKCs will expire when Nintendo retires the switch 2 eshop, like they closed down the eshop for older consoles. This sounds bad and it is in fact really bad, but realistically even physical copies of games have a limited shelflife so it's not that unusual. Lots of physical 3DS games are already dead for example, that was a console with especially bad lifespans for its physical media.This doesn't excuse GKCs for essentially having built-in planned obsolescence but realistically buying official releases were never going to be the way to preserve games long-term in the first place. If you want to own your games for real you should pirate.
>>742254349Cope harder snoy
>>742253430Code in a box was totally pointless. To the extent this replaces code in a box these are great. To the extent this replaces true physical these are cancer. It depends on what you're comparing against.
>>742253430Because you can sell and trade it
I have Star Fox, Air Ride, Donkey Bongs, Hyrule Warriors 3 (Mario Kart came with it) and they dont have the keycard symbol.What games even have it? Probably something you shouldn't be playing on a tablet?
>>742254349Wii, WiiU and 3DS eshops were closed, but you can still redownload games from them.
>>742254349To this day you can still download your OG wii games.
>>742254060One o in to
>>742253430Technically it retains resale value, which is good, but then the game ain't on the cart so that blows.
>>742253430Nintendo users are literally the dumbest of the fanbases. There was an actual study on this.
>>742254109>>742254179>>742254236>>742254502Sit
>>742254582I have a PS5 thoughbeit, still not buying this goyslop
>>742254576>>742254576
>>742253430>How did they get away with this?their fans previously paid 70 dollars for cardboard
>>742253648>>742253604>and they don't expirelolYou fags were shitting all over digital and GKC and then Nintendo forced your hand and you bent right over and took it, just like with paid online. I remember shitting on snoys with tendies over Sony doing paid online and I remember tendies folding like fucking lawn chairs when it happened to them. Zero principles or dignity in any of you fanbabies, it's all just subservience to the corporation you chose to parasitically latch onto and worship.
>>742254582The irony of this is I could easily use the same argument the other way around, except with more than one game in over 10 years.You're free to use the usual cope and dance of calling the switch 2 exclusive lineup "it's kiddy slop for kids/nothing but ports and remakes" tho.
>The only one who own their games are piratechadsWe've come full circle
>>742254676>You fags were shitting all over digital and GKC and then Nintendo forced your hand and you bent right over and took itI have 300 games in my steam back catalog and like 60 digital Switch games.
>>742253430Tendies bought literal cardboard. Nintendo can and will get away with anything.That said the code in the box thing is just Rockstar's greed plain simple. They don't want you to be able to resell GTA6 or buy it used.
>>742254676>T. SteamcellYou don't even have a disc drive in your PC stfu. Your entire Steam library will expire when Gabe croaks.
Tendies don't own shit. Daddy Nintendo could remote into their switch 2 and brick it
>>742254582We don't need your westoid slop with got our own new games
>>742254939kek
>>742253604>>742253648>you can resell the GKC and they don't expireYou can't install it offline, you're reliant on the servers being kept online so it expires just like the code in the box lol It's crazy how tendies will turn around and defend this practice when nintendo does it, and SOMEHOW think you're making a pointLike your lesson isn't "both are bad", it's "now we can defend digital only games as actually good because it's nintendo"
>>742253648A literal code is actually better because you don‘t have to insert a cart everytime you wanna play the game. Game key cards are the worst of both worlds. It doesn‘t have the convenience of digital or the ownership of physical.
>>742254854PC isn't a locked down prison system, but nice cope
>>742253430>Digital game that takes space on your storage>Can only use it when you put in the goy plastic
>>742253430>Physical DRMHow are Tendies defending this?
>>742260563Because Nintendo forced it and it's clear this is what Nintendo wants to do for everything, so now tendies have to go along with it or be branded as eric the vegansnoy by their peers.
>>742253604>and doesn’t expireloldo tendies really?
>>742253604The only positive point that they have is that you can resell it. This, however, only matters if you're so fucking poor that needs to resort reselling his vidya
>>742254939Being fat or otherwise dysgenic in public should be illegal.
>>742253604What is the actual argument against this?
>>742253430Switch 1 already had code-in-a-box games. While I’d rather the process not be used whatsoever, this at the very least puts a name to it that allows you to make more informed decisions with your money at first glance.
>>742253430>code in boxthis is functionally distinct from a console store redeem code. a GKC is installed directly from the servers, not the store. the license is physically in your hands. your license is not tied to you. you can sell it and buy another GKC used from someone else. I know that /v/ is full of steamfags and cannot fathom the idea of a game's license being independent from the account but this is how it works.
>>742254349WRONG. every digital nintendo game can still be downloaded without the store. the store is a fucking store. the games are in the servers. Wii games are redownloadable to this day
you fucking code loving monkeys are retarded as fuck
>>742255152>You can't install it offlineyou won't believe how PC games work
>>742253430It's trash but you're a faggot OP.
>>742253604>doesn’t expireFalse it expires the second they kill their online platform which they will.
>>742253430YOU'RE a code in the box with extra steps
>>742253604>doesn’t expirelike those digital 3DS games you own? Why don't you go download them from the eshop right now?
>>742261484>>742261436you know you CAN redownload games from the closed down eshops right? i commend the absolute confidence, still absolutely retarded though
>>742261484Uh yes?https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Support/Purchases-Subscriptions/Redownloading-previously-purchased-games-Wii-U-and-Nintendo-3DS--1094143.html#:~:text=If%20you%20previously%20purchased%20a,and%20accessing%20your%20purchase%20history.>in b4 it doesn't count
This KILLS the /v/tardshttps://youtu.be/XAx9kOWhGf0?si=K1y3a2zdDmAKrQUl&t=457
>>742253604Who resells their games? Only poor retards do that shit.
>>742261778it's a good way to not give your money to corpos if you hate them but want to play in a console tho, miss the good ol days selling my used ps3 games
>>742255170>download codes that can't be resold once used, have an actual redemption expiry date, and can be removed if you ever catch a ban are better actually, because now I don't have to stand up from my couchthe absolute state
>>742254349>GKCs will expire when Nintendo retires the switch 2 eshopdumb snoynigger, you can literally still re-download purchases from the Wii shop and that shit is fucking 20 years old
>>742261260Not only do you have GOG, but you can easily pirate and emulate any game you can think of, so this isn't an issue on PC Again, always deflecting to literally everything else. Anything to not admit fault
>>742261484yep, this is going on /r/confidentlyincorrect
>>742260829>This, however, only matters if you're so fucking poor that needs to resort reselling his vidyaConsider the fact that Nintendo games have this uncanny ability to let you sell second hand games for a good price.
>>742253430They're not getting away with it key card game after key card game is flopping hardBut also you can resell it
>>742261953Ok? You can also download digital games fron the PS3 storeYou're still beholden to nintendo's servers for your GKC retard, meaning you don't own shit
>>742254667This flopped hard, I brought it though, not the one in your pic though the 5 pack
>>742261939>, have an actual redemption expiry date, and can be removed if you ever catch a ban Same as GKC lol. Enjoy not owning your games
>>742253604>and doesn’t expiredon't look up the lifespan of unpowered flash
>>742262169no? GKC works without even needing a ninty account, nothing is redeemed
>>742253648i just got my 99th Switch cart on the shelf to play on my Switch 2. still only have 3 Switch 2 carts because of GKCs.
>>742253430>How did they get away with this?The average consumer is complete cattle that will consume anything they put out. They won.
>>742253604>and doesn’t expire
>>742253430Or maybe just start buying digital only
>>742261964Sure man, but you're not going to use your steam purchase to install it offline when Steam goes down. Realistically the Switch will be cracked wide open by the time the servers go down, so all purchases are just early access. Might as well get one you can sell to a retard who cares more about having a box than having access to the game.
why are people deflecting the fact that you can still download wii purchases
>>742254349Like those older platforms? You mean the ones that still let you redownload your digital purchases, including the Wii from 2006? Gee, I HOPE they keep that policy up.
>>742261939>because now I don't have to stand up from my couchI've seen namefags here using the exact same defence, "download codes are actually more convenient!!!", while claiming they'd still prefer physical over both, actual vermin
>>742254865>Implying Sony couldnt
>>742253430Isn't it a code in a box with less steps?
>>742253430just another line in the long list of why japs are the world's dumbest subhumans.
>>742254349>GKCs will expire when Nintendo retires the switch 2 eshopI will be really worried in 30 years.
>>742261964>you can easily pirate and emulate any game you can think ofDenuvo shows in your path.
>>742262057So? You're still poor if you're going the extra mile to sell your shit
why would you even buy this if you can just buy the digital versionyou have to waste hard drive space either way
>>742253430I don’t want a digital download code. I want a physical disk.
You can resell it or lend it to someone. Yeah it's tied to the servers staying up, but it's multiuse unlike a download code.
>>742254939>These are the people calling you a snoy
>>742261618No, that doesn't count, because they could remove the download part too. No, they haven't done that at all yet... but that's not the point. They could! And that's evil.
>>742253604People got permabanned switches from buying used switch 2 cards so you're wrong
>>742278181Those people turned out to all be NIG cart users lol.The few legit ones that got banned were due to being sold NIGged carts, and the fix was as easy as just calling support, providing proof of ownership and now they got unbanned while the actual NIGger got banned.
>>742278813>NIGersour grapes
>>742254060Multiple credible insiders confirmed the switch 2 port is in development. Cry harder lol
Niggers ITT love making up scenarios when nintendo will eventually shut down the switch 2 eshop because apparently they've done it with previous consoles
>>742279930This but valve
>>742280213Valve literally lobbied to remove your consumer right of reselling digital game copies, proving once again you're just renting licenses off them LMFAO.
>>742261484lmao you clueless retard
>>742268573b-but one day you MIGHT not be able to anymore...
>>742282265Try redownloading your vidya after the orange man nukes nintendo HQ
>>742254582I still feel scammed of 50€ for gta 5, not falling for the trap twice.
>>742253604this
>>742253430Nintodddlers are autistic and don't care. Autistic people have no opinions. Just other people's opinions.
>>742268573How do you do it if your Wii is broken?
>>742254349>>742254676>>742261436>>742278181>muh what if scenariounironically try harder.
>>742268573Gee I wonder why they keep ignoring it, probably because they need something to make nintendo look bad
>>742254060>even if you wanted.at least you actually understand that we don't want to play it.
