Topic: Game Key Cards... What is the point?

Apart from the re sale of this key card game's being a benefit, since launch in finding key card games are cheaper than downloading them on the e shop.
For example here in the UK, street fighter 6 key game card was £30 from most retailers. The same again with the newest resident evil as most retailers sold the physical game key card as low as £50, £15 off of the RRP.
So while yes, I hate the key cards and would prefer my game to be fully playable without the internet, the times are unfortunately changing. Physical media is dying in this hobby. Even a ps5 disk didn't house the latest doom.
I think at least with key cards, you can actually sell it second hand unlike a digital, plus you can get good deals in a sale if you really want a game and Nintendo switch 2 is your only option for gaming. We can even lend them to friends. Can't do that digitally without the whole faf of digital cards.
They are not popular yes, but they do offer us more options of what we can do with our games. Whatever your stance just go enjoy the hobby. Everything changes, but at least we still have the best hobby ever.

I recently got a Switch 2 and I limit myself to very cheap digital games because I can't resell them. The only exception I made was Mario Kart World. Generally I buy switch carts as cheap as possible, play them and then resell them to get most of my money back. I'm not against game key cards in principle as I can resell them but because they don't contain the game I wouldn't pay anywhere near the same amount as a full cartridge really. I see them as a half way house between the two formats digital and physical and their resale value seems to be pegged much lower than full cartridges so that is all I'm prepared to pay too.

I want to get Fallout 4 but with no physical game and only a hight cost digital option I simply won't buy until heavily discounted. If there was a game key version (I haven't checked) then I might consider it but my absolute maximum would be about £20-25 for it. Personally I can't justify Nintendo pricing for much of their software. As a multi-format gamer I just go elsewhere. I played the demo of Donkey Kong Bonanza and enjoyed it but not enough to pay anywhere near its retail price which seems ridiculous to me when many better platform games are available on other formats for a fraction of the cost.

I don't like to be ripped off so choose games based on how much I want to play them but also how much they cost too. I have a large backlog of games anyway so I don't need to pay silly money for any game that has just come out.
