Sorta annoyed Nintendo didn't receive as much flak as this with hoards of people trying to justify game cards by pointing at Microsoft and Sony.
Nintendo is beyond the event horizon at this point.
And that’s alright. Like, if you can afford a Switch and you get it so your family can play Pokopia and Animal Crossing, all their nonsense doesn’t really matter to your lifestyle.
…But if it does matter, we are in waaay too deep to defend them.
I had no idea "game key cards" were a thing until this comment sent me down a rabbit hole. What a total scam! Clearly deceptive and anti-consumer. I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet. Maybe most are ignorant like myself.
How is it a scam? It is exactlly what is printed on the box. Not everything you dislike is a scam.
