So I had a Ramble video just about ready to go to chime in on this whole Game Keycard thing that Switch 2 is instituting. Long story shorts; these are cards with download codes and no actual game, but you can “resell” them because there’e a physical cart in there. Anyway, I did the audio, got some mild edits, just about ready to render… And then I read about the following…
So the special Street Fighter thing that’s supposed to include the first two years worth of DLC? Apparently, those codes only last two years before they expire. So if you intend on buying one of these for the collection… well, not only are you getting a gameless card that will be useless in a decade when Switch 2 is put out to pasture, but the codes that add an extra cost to this package will no longer be valid if not used after a couple years.
Man, I was largely indifferent about this whole thing, but now that I’ve read about this… imagine how many other folks might be going in this direction. Can this industry just fucking die and be done with it?
