Update thanks to thethatfox:
Physical game cards may also not actually contain the game:
Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview
Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet.
Update 2: There is probably a difference in Game-key cards and card that contain real game data. So we don't know right now how often these game-key cards are used or if nintendo is using them.
That actually makes sense but I am still buying physical.
It makes sense, but it's sad that nintendo is the first one with the biggest audience of physical games. I'm still buying physical as well.
Agreed. It would have been better if they had just lowered the cost of digital rather than raising the cost of physical
Won't somebody think of the investors
