@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club this is why they killed it 😔
@emma it's also why they are going way more hardcore with the "break our rules for online user engagement and we brick your entire console" thing
@mitchconner @emma @Hoss the game key card thing at least won't apply to first party games. it's only third parties that will be using it. apparently it's like $20-$25 for a cartridge because they've gotta be really fast and the way their architecture is, 64gb is the lowest storage capacity and the only one nintendo will be producing.
i honestly think that without the game key cards, all these third parties would just be doing code in a box or purely digital anyway. so at the very least, it IS better than a one-time-use code. still not ideal but i think nintendo is probably trying to make the most out of an awkward situation.
i pre-ordered a switch 2, i'm a mario kart fiend so i needed it lmao.

>Video games are the first fully digital medium the second people realize this and stop obsessing over the delivery method and realize this fact we can push for drm free games on open platforms.
They'll find nice workarounds. Remember how much of a win DRM free music was when Apple finally caved? Remember when they replaced it with streaming which had lower payouts AND "pulled from streaming?" Or how Steam was "good enough" for the normie masses.
That's not counting that new hardware can cost as much as a used Altima.
@KaiserKitty @beardalaxy @mitchconner @emma @Hoss The other problem is, on the open platform it's great for single player games. For MP games? You'd better hope it's from a dev who gives two shits and a fuck and is patching those pesky RCE bugs. Just look at Activision and how they could care less if playing a 10 year old game of theirs on the PC leaves you wide open to some serious RCE exploits (which don't happen on Xbox/PS, the worst that happens is some skid DDoSes you or uses a hard freeze exploit)
@sendpaws @KaiserKitty @mitchconner @emma @Hoss yeah I wanted to get back to playing blops 3 but apparently that's all over the place unless you use a specific mod, but only people with the mod can play each other and there's no matchmaking.
