That’s basically Nintendo's Switch 2 authorization key. Game is digital download with a mandatory physical key for verification.

Functions the same, one key per registration. You can’t lend a game or resell if the console manufacturer decides the key has been used already.

They are killing the used game market like they have killed the DVD market. Everyone needs a subscription for all media and it can be removed and deleted from your account at any time. See recent Sony removal of 500 movies from people’s libraries.
