    The GCK situation is really sad. :/

    I collect physical games so in my case they’re the worst parts of physical and digital combined and I’d rather consider them “digital only” releases… and since I only buy digital games heavily discounted any game announced in this model has a 1+ year delay for me.

    It’s the main reason I’m not buying a S2 anytime soon… not worth it for the small number of physical exclusives I can play right now.

      Yeah, I collect physical games too, and game-key cards (or the even scammier “code in a box” physical releases) are terrible. I really hope they don’t sell well and publishers reconsider. The only games I have so far for Switch 2 are Mario Kart World and DK Bananza. I got Fast Fusion Neon because it was rather cheap. It also reminded me of playing the Wii U one which was also one of the first releases and digital only.

      The only two third-party games I’m considering to get are Cyberpunk and Hyrule Warriors which I hope is also a proper physical release since it’ll be published by Nintendo.

        There’s a post in the NSCollectors reddit front page joking that they “love GKCs”… because it’s ending all FOMO for collecting and making them save money.
