Most third party games are dependant on patches and thus internet connection anyway and for people who want tangible goods I think a game key fufils the keepsake function, the only concern remaining is long term license access. For that guaranteed preservation I think cheap cartridge option for developers (high storage, low speed) would have been the best and most consumer friendly route. Game fully on the card but requires an install to internal storage to play and no backlash. Hopefully they consider this going forward as a replacement for  game keys.
