Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 faces criticism for its use of 'Game Key Card' cartridges that require an internet connection to download games. These cartridges, instead of holding the game data themselves, act primarily as DRM. Critics argue this approach complicates game preservation and raises concerns about the longevity of online servers. While some players see value in trading these cartridges, the added environmental cost and potential loss of access as servers shut down poses significant issues for gaming in the future.
Many anticipate the Switch 2's launch, but the implementation of 'Game Key Card' carts, requiring online downloads, raises concerns for game preservation.
While some appreciate the tradeability of Game Key Cards, others criticize it as adding to environmental waste while complicating future access to games.
