The problem is 3rd parties are already charging more for games for game-key-cards, same price as Nintendo full physical games. The price also caused PS5 games to jump up. Nintendo created a monster lol.

Not really. Game-key cards aren't selling well, so you merely need to have patience.

This is similar to how the narrative has been that digital is the future and then more and more indie game developers looked into releasing physical versions of their games on Switch 1. Eventually the bigger third party publishers will realize that having a physical version on its own will already generate a lot of positive interest in their games. They are going to hamfist the game-key card for Switch 2's first year, but it's not going to work.

GKCs are Nintendo's doing, not 3rd party publisher's.

Wouldn't be much better that if instead of them there was slower "game install required" cards on much cheaper media, so that there is actual choice between (something like) premium Game Cartridge (current game cards), Game Cart (install required) and Digital, instead of current Game Cart, GKC (which is glorified Digital) and Digital?
