I guess I feel different than most, because I think it is nice they are putting whether it is a game key card or not right there on front of the box so there is no question whatsoever.

As others have said, not having to download the entire game was one of the best things about the Switch to me, so just gives me a big reason to not goob out.

I know kern knows this, but videogame preservation is done by the pirates and not the collectors, and in 15 years it will be the pirates that enable you to keep playing your Okama Gamesphere long after the servers have shut down.
He can just play it on his mister 5000.

This post will likely snap Kernow out of a deep sleep, and I know I'm not establishing anything new here, but it' a bit fucked up that modern systems are going to be nearly useless in 15 years, when the patch servers, etc. are no longer functioning. You can't just buy an old disc and expect it to play in your old system, since most discs either don't have the full game on them or they have the unfinished / straight up broken 1.0 version on them. I'm sure there will be other ways to play most popular games, but it just feels wrong that we have to refer to "the old days" when you could just put a game in a console and play it. Sad.
I mean I get the problem in principal, but in practice I don't know why you're worried about playing Switch games 15 years from now. Count yourself lucky if you're still alive and well in 15 years, because not everyone gets to have that.

It doesn't keep me up at night. I've accepted the all-digital future. The Switch 2 fan community 20 years from now will all have hacked systems. As long as I can still have my 80's and 90's cartridges and discs it's not something I care about.

I didn't mean to imply that fake could die in that time. That was a generic "you're" that can apply to any of humanity.

Yeah, I think that the urge to go back and play 15 year old games in 15 years is going to be a lot lower than going from 2005 to 1990. But it still makes modern games seem ephemeral, like myself, apparently.

I was at Target a couple hours ago, and saw a big line of mostly husky goobs wrapped through the store. Wtf, I thought. Then I looked up toward the front of the line and saw a mountain of those new switches, and a guy was passing them out one by one. It was very orderly at least. No employees appeared to be harmed during the transfer of goobwares.

I took my grandma to run some errands last week and I saw a huge line outside the Gamestop next door to her bank. I thought maybe they were lining up to preorder the Switch or something, but it turned out they were waiting for the employees to put out the newest shipment of Pokemon cards so they could buy them and flip them online.

Legit like 100 dudes lined up, maybe 5 of them with a kid.

The Pokemon card situation is legit out of control.

Those scalper clowns are clearing out stores the very moment new stock is put out.

You know, its not like I could see the boxes that close. I just sort of glanced up at the front of the line. Very well coulda been pokemon cards, I just assumed switch 2.

Jeez, frickin pokemon cards? These were grown men. Granted, clearly nerdy, many heavyset and such, but the line was long as hell. So I just assumed switch, but internet says that comes out next week. Wow. Pokemon cards. I mean, to each their own and all that, but man. Nothing should surprise me anymore though.

Yeah, the Switch 2 comes out next week, so if the fat goobs were actually buying stuff it was probably pokemans.

Yeah, if that's the case, then a physical copy makes no sense. Other than for people who like putting cases on a shelf or whatever. More landfill garbage for the next generation.
There is one advantage. Unlike codes in a case, you can resell these.
