2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

The physical edition will ship on a game-key card worldwide, as revealed by a new video about game-key cards (English, Japanese) released today by Nintendo.

I think this is the first big-ish Nintendo release to use a key-card.

I have no interest in 70€ temporal licenses.

In 10 years piracy will be the only way to play this game

That's already the case for like 75% of pokemon games since the 3ds eShop closed, iirc

Exactly. No sense in fighting it. Might as well start there. Who am I to swim against the river? 🏴‍☠️

Good.

Take as much advantage of money-spenders as possible. Show them who's in charge.

So it's just a fancy physical code? You don't have to write it in the shop.. Wow

Worse. You need to use the card to play the game, even though it's just a key to unlock downloading the game. Worst of both worlds.
