It boggles my mind that game key cards are so hated. And MOST of the reasons I see are idealistic ones.
I'm purely practical in my reasoning. I have a household that currently has two Switch 2 consoles, one Switch, and two Switch Lites. My kids will eventually get Switch 2's. Digital games are the bane of my existence, even with Nintendo's "new and improved" family sharing. If they did something like Steam Families? I'd probably be all digital by now. But sharing digital games between family members is a giant pain in the ass and needs to be renewed every two weeks for some reason. Would I prefer all data to be on the card? Absolutely. But Game Key Cards are leagues ahead of digital in terms of the mobility of my game and what I can do with it.
