according to fucking whom? "You will own nothing" is still bad when nintendo does it, and a little card that says "trust me bro" isn't the same as a physical game. Get outta here with this nonsense

I think they do. When games are on the cart/disc, they can be easily preserved. When games are digital or use key cards, it is difficult to preserve them because you are reliant on the store being up do download the game data.

I'd personally argue digital preservation is way easier. I can download all of my Switch games onto an SD card and even copy that data without any issues, not needing to rely on the servers at all. Since GKC games are always available digitally it doesn't impact any preservation effort.

At least you can still sell them. I'd rather have a pseudo-physical game than a digital one that I'm stuck with forever and lose if I lose the account or the company decides to take it away. I don't think preservation will end. Consoles will still get hacked and people will still save the games.

That's like saying this particular classification of crap is one modicum less stinky than the newly innovative crap that just dropped this morning.

nope game key cards are STILL bad! I'd rather by digital if there was a game I literally can't live without... BUT usually I'd just NOT buy the game... I REALLY wanted to play Pragmata, Bravely Default, and others but NOT buying them on a GKC or digitally in protest.
