Why I dislike Game Key Cards.
1) Despite being significantly cheaper to manufacture, games are not cheaper, meaning consumers get an inferior product for the same price.
2) Game Key Cards require a download, which means it will consume internal device storage space, which means if you own a lot of games, you will need to buy a MicroSD Express card which is higher priced than a regular SD Card.
3) Once game servers are taken offline, you will lose the inability to download those games onto another device.
4) If you are without internet connectivity and gaming offline and don't have the game installed, you can't just drop a cart in and start playing. Think: Airplanes.
You wouldn't be able to give a cart to share a game with a friend whilst offline either.

5) Install/Download times are governed by download speed, it may take some individuals an hour or more to download a large game depending on connection speed, carts with the data on it are instant play.
This is why Game Key Cards are hot garbage. And no... I am not being "old fashioned" by preferring genuine cartridges... Not all of us sit in the same 4 walls at home with fiber or 5G connectivity.
I speak for most highly traveled people when I say... "Fuck Game Key Cards".
If I am forced to go digital, I'll stick to PC... At-least then I have options when the servers get taken offline to backup or obtain new copies... And with how capable handheld PC's are these days... You get the idea.
