Now, one other thing, because I want to kind of get into some of your favorite things, but I want to talk about this before we forget game key cards. And I'm going to read this off so we know what we're talking about here, because, again, all this physical get what the hell is all this stuff.

So for Nintendo 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. After it's downloaded, you can play the game by inserting the game key card into your system and starting it up like a standard physical game card.

Basically, this is... What is he saying? Basically, this is Greg. You get a digital game you can only use with the physical card. Dumb DRM. I agree, Greg. This is dumb DRM. I don't like this at all personally because what it essentially is saying, you have to treat this like a physical game card, but I can't just hand it to someone to share it. So I don't get the advantage of this.

I don't either. That's the point.
I don't either. That's the point.
Who's buying this? They've made it more confusing. This is how I look at it because I'm assuming, okay, I walk into a retail store. I would want the full regular physical card. Why would I want this? I would not want this. If I have to download the damn game, I might as well just get the digital version. What's the point? So I can lose the key card somewhere and now I'm screwed? I don't know.

I don't like this at all. So...
I don't like this at all. So...
Yeah, but then the physical version should cost more, but I'm assuming this game key card isn't more? Again, I don't know. That's crazy. Yeah, this is all coming in. This is so fucking dumb.

I know 12 years later and it's still just as confusing. So yeah, clearly we need more information on this because on paper, this doesn't make sense to me. I don't know who the target audience for this is because either I want a physical copy, which means I want it on that cartridge so I can share it with my kids or whoever, or I'm just getting the digital version.
