What people think buying game-key cards says: "I want physical games."

Illustrating third-party support for Nintendo Switch 2 so far - A very good start in terms of titles, but we can't say the same about support for their preservation.
Currently, there are 5 proper releases and 25 Game-Key Cards / Code in Box #NSW2
It’s pretty sad to see this for a brand new console. I predict my switch 2 library won’t grow as much as other platforms. I will never buy a key card, new or used. I just hope that Nintendo starts offering smaller carts so this situation can hopefully start improving.

The question is what to expect from others #NSW2
