We are here to talk about the hottest button issue that has plagued the Switch 2.

My goodness.

And it's game key cards.

Facts.

Facts.

Facts.

This has become a real problem.

And there are just so many people that are like passionately against the idea, you included,

the idea of a game key card. And we want to

dig into this a little bit, talk about what is going on here. Why did this become such a

sensitive topic for people? And also, there's some origins at Nintendo around maybe what kind of started the idea of a game key card.

And then finally we want to answer the question of like whether or not we think Nintendo would ever put a first-party game on a game key card.

Can't believe you're even uttering these words.

Scary, scary thoughts.

My gosh.

But yes, let's dig into this because it's become a real, a real big deal. Yeah, and since the Switch 2 first got revealed, there have been a couple things that have been these flashpoints where people have, you know, really passionately spoken out about it. Like for a while, when he first learned about the system, there was the whole debate of, is it new enough or not? Does that even matter? That kind of came and went. The $80 price debate, people shouting, drop the price. That, you know, obviously right after the direct, that was the hot, intense thing that was happening there. I wouldn't say people have moved on from those topics, but I think people have just, at some degree, accepted, like, okay, I'm going to have to

pay $80 for this, whereas this issue, which first spiked so much when we learned how much

of the Switch 2 launch lineup was on a game key card.

Right.

And it was like a shocking moment.

It's like, wait, everything but like three games is going to be a game key card?

What a bleak future where we're staring down?
