If a game is on a key card, I just cut out the middle man and download it from the eshop.
It's basically a glorified download code anyway.
I don't hate them as much as some do, it just strikes me as an extra step I'm too lazy to take.

Eh…  I just don’t see how GKC would be any different for somebody such as yourself (who I suspect isn’t dumping cartridges anyways) than having the full game on cart. Is it not just the difference between having your game load on your NS2 via a key versus via the console directly accessing the files specifically on the cartridge? And the difference between digital and GKC is much more marked than GKC and physical: You still get the benefit of owning a physical cartridge which grants you the keys to a game, and you still have the ability to resell.

The only issue I can really think of is dumping, but even then, people will almost certainly find a way to dump digital copies of these games onto their PC regardless. There’s also the end-of-times fear that a lot of people have… just seems like a major mountain-out-of-a-molehill.
