This is about what I expected of the discussion. Nevertheless, heated arguments in good faith are fun. But if there's a problem to be had, it'll become more apparent once the generation is truly underway in a few years.
The Switch had a major problem with third parties not actually giving a damn to our even the tiniest of games on a cartridge and force an actual download rendering the ownership of the physical good moot.


Game Key Cards are basically a similar scenario to what we have early on here. Albeit with the added bonus that Key Cards do have re-sell value, therefore not an account tied purchase.

I do think the situation will likely either normalize itself as it is or there will eventually be a growing adoption of full physical game instar of the other option, especially if people do speak with their money and support the better choice.

If you're willing to pay $10 more to have the game on a cartridge and there's really a huge audience for that ... ok ... but seriously I doubt it. This is one of those classic cases of a group of people who are extremely loud on the internet but not very sizable in actual reality. 

Game Key Cards are going to be the norm on the Switch 2 minus Nintendo published games and even with those Nintendo games you will pay the $10 premium to have the physical copy, Nintendo is not going to give it for the same cost as the digital version in most cases.
