I've seen enough. Discontinue the game keycard program entirely. Don't want to print your game on physical media? Then embrace the humiliation and shame of hawking a download code at all the retailers you constantly claim No Longer Matter.
As someone with a taste for what may be perceived by some as "pretentious, arthouse, drivel!" - I found myself quite a bit let down by this one when I played it on PC. Not my favorite interactive fiction (more reputable way to say walking sim, lol).
Threshold however, very much enjoyed that one. Arctic Eggs, even moreso. C'mon Critical Reflex, port Arctic Eggs to Switch! Motion controlled eggflipping with the joycon would be pure bliss.
"Banjo Kazooie" developer is long gone. They're making Yooka Laylee games. Headline should read: Sea of Thieves content farm has been re-org'd under noted BDS target, Microsoft.
"WEB FISHING" is a fake copycat game. Webfishing on steam is wonderful, I got excited for a second. Are these storefronts ever going to address these shovelware scam games?

Re: Random: 2021 Elon Musk SNL Skit "Was Not Received Well" By Nintendo

Re: A Trio Of Resident Evil Remakes Hit Switch 2 In October
No physical, no reason to double dip.
Re: Review: Onimusha: Way Of The Sword (Switch 2) - Capcom Delivers A Superb Samurai Revival

(This review score has been adjusted by my proprietary game keycard algorithm)
Re: Review: Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition (Switch 2) - An Outstanding Achievement In Open-World Design
Great news @Anguspuss, the file size is 50GB on Nintendo Switch 2. It's called optimization and it's a beautiful thing.
No excuses, a generation-defining game like Elden Ring deserves to be enshrined in physical format, especially when they are asking $80.
Re: Review: Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition (Switch 2) - An Outstanding Achievement In Open-World Design
So, 6/10 when adjusted for being a digital only/keycard release using my proprietary review score algorithm.
SKIP!

Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
Thank you Bandai Namco for your commitment to feeding next generation’s landfills

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th October (North America)
"WEB FISHING" is a fake copycat game. Webfishing on steam is wonderful, I got excited for a second. Are these storefronts ever going to address these shovelware scam games?
Re: Review: Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
Bless them for shipping on a real cartridge.

GOOD. Dump these keycards into the Atari E.T. landfill where they belong. Kudos to CDPR for doing it right and reaping the benefits.
