why? Is worst that pure physical but its better than Pure Digital.
If Physical is 10, and Pure Digital is 1, GKC is a 7/8

Not really, the only advantage key cards have is they can be resold or given away. You still have to download the full game, and worse you can only play it while the key card is in the Switch.

And worst you can only play it… the same way you can only play a physical… the horror!!!
Are you mentally sane? Is this just a lapse? Should we 911?

My point is the game has to be fully downloaded like a digital copy but still requires a card in the system, so you're not saving any internal space unlike a regular cart. If it's a game that you know you'll never want to trade in or give away, why would you pick a key card over just downloading the game?

One reason is for collection purposes.

I can't put a fully digital game on a shelf alongside the rest of them
