Are they? If you didn't buy the game with the intent of lending/reselling later I feel they're even worse than code-in-a-box.

    Yeah, they're not tied to accounts or consoles. Any console with the card in will be able to play the game after downloading it. You can trade or sell them.

    Codes and boxes are just digital purchases with plastic waste attached and no further benefit.

    They're shittier than real physical games, but they still do have that one advantage over digital games, just with the drawback that you still have a physical cartridge you have to switch out and carry around. It's a mixed bag.
