Every other Nintendo game is. That is where they are leaning towards.

I don't think I've seen a 1st party Nintendo game key card yet. But pretty much all the outside publishers are going this way for the Switch 2. Nintendo says they have no plans for their games to follow this model, but they will definitely eventually. It behooves the industry to eliminate physical media so that every gamer must buy digitally from them - rather than a single copy that can be passed down/around.

Sony just broke the ice, and people are furious - but in 2028 when people are hovering over that "buy digital" button and wanting to hold strong to their convictions, 99% will cave, because they want to play and have no other choice. Sony and every other platform will win, and ten years from now it will be the norm and most people will have forgotten or not care about the freedom and true rights of ownership they lost.

After getting into these Yakuza games in the modern era, I tried playing the older ones. Some are really really good but some just are just very clunky no matter how much fresh paint. Great series overall, though

I don't believe either of your theories will hold. If anything it is the consumer that caused physical discs to die. I prefer physical, as well, but we are just a very very loud minority of "old men yelling at a literal cloud." Gaming will be just fine. The noises you are hearing will not have any impact on gaming.

For whatever reason my desire to play the game immediately goes away when 0 day patch/download is required for the game.

Great reason to stop supporting them.

Most Nintendo first-party titles actually have the full game on cartridge (Pokopia is the notable exception, not sure if there are any others). 3rd-party publishers also had the choice between a full cartridge and a game key card, and most choose the GKC. Some, like CDPR for Cyberpunk 2077, still put the game on a cartridge.

Honestly imo Nintendo keeping physicals going is still a good thing, although I worry how long GKCs will remain downloadable. Nintendo got a ton of bad rep and misinfo like "All Nintendo games are GKC" because they were transparent about it, meanwhile Sony did the same garbage right under everyone's noses. Sony didn't get enough hate back then, people are now noticing something's wrong when they announce physicals are going away completely! Moral of the story, none of the corpos are your friend, I guess. For the time being, you can play the GKC through to the end and sell it to avoid dead weight in the far future.

Pokopia is GKC, I think all the rest have full game on cartridge
