Mr. Hamaguchi should be reminded that games like Octopath 0, Elliot, Bravely Default HD or Dragon Quest I+II HD don't need high loading speeds at all and yet they are or will be in Game Key Cards.

Mr. Hamaguchi should be reminded that when people want a physical game, they don't want some kind of physical monkey-paw kind of situation. They want the game in the card. That's what they pay for. In fact, they are already paying an extra compared to Switch 1 releases just because. So, the least he could do is not be a cheap asshole and throw their fans a bone.

Mr. Hamaguchi should also be reminded that there are already some exclusive current gen or high-end cross gen games that would benefit a lot more from high loading speeds than Final Fantasy VII Remake... And yet they come full in a Game Card and play just fine.

Mr. Hamaguchi should also be reminded that putting a game inside a Game Card and force an installation on Switch's 2 internal memory should also be an option. But of course, Mr. Hamaguchi knows very well that the whole "loading speeds" is just a bullshit excuse to not say they don't want to pay for the full cartridge.

Seriously, this whole Game Key Card situation is just stupid and makes me absolutely livid. From companies making up stupid excuses as to why they "have" to use them and even trying to ASK their customers to just accept them... to people trying to defend this whole mess by being on the side of the multi billion dollar company by spreading even more bullshit: "Ohhh, but it's too expensive to use full carts... They need their benefits... Oh, what's that? They are already charging more money than they did for Switch 1 games despite using literally empty carts? Oh... Well... That's... I mean... THE BENEFITS, MAN, THE BENEFITS! Why can't you understand their situation?! :( ".

This,all is said
