Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview

Yeah, it would be insane if the game's also uninstalled, but that second system still needs to be at hand or someone needs to "eject" it. It's a really dumb system.

More like, they’ve never been known to pass the savings to the consumer on the digital front. Some games were more expensive on the e shop than physical copies from time to time iirc.

The point about Nintendo not having significantly larger sizes on games could be attributed to a few things:
- Their developers were sometimes exclusively making Nintendo games = more familiar with the hardware and how to use it effectively
- They were guaranteed to sell a few million copies of a game = they could afford to run the numbers on refactoring the games resources and asset logic to maximize cartridge size. With the scale of sales, this could cover a specialized developer exclusively optimizing techniques to save on that front
- Many third party studios run their games through some converter and fix what’s remaining, the result are turd sized and non-optimized executables. E.g.: see iOS and Android app and game install sizes.

People are referring to damaged physical media = can’t play it. That’s always been the case. You mixed 2 different things into the same point, which are wildly distinct and why people say they agree partially.
