I still have several PS1 memory cards in a drawer in my game room. Losing my stuff or breaking it hasn't really been a problem. Cloud saves are nice but they've never really been a must. Before that, I just carried all of my saves around on a USB drive.
With the Switch, you don't have any options. Your system is the end all be all. You can't copy anything in any way shape or form. Nintendo doesn't have to offer free cloud saves. It's okay. Let me save my data to individual games like on the Gameboy. I lose the game, I lose my data. Let me copy my saves to a micro SD card. Great. Give me passwords like it's 1987. I'll deal with it. I just hate having all of my eggs in one basket.
