Sure, “physical media” that contains no game. Let me know when there’s a working Switch 2 emulator, because I’m done buying expensive computers where only a big corporation has root access.

    You can't really blame Nintendo for how third-party devs package their game.

    This is a bit misleding, as Nintendo opened the door for Game Key Cards; physical cards that contain no game.

    I'm biased towards having the physical game and contents, but it's true that GKC reduce some concerns on locking versus digital only, like being able to resell it, even though it's bad for archiving.
