The key card thing is stupid. Nintendo is (was), I think, the last developer who released full games on their media format. I will go so far as to import games to get a physical edition. If I'm going to buy a physical "thing", that "thing" better be there in its entirety. I'll be using the third party options that take and make physical releases even more than I was before.

I'm the same, the Switch is the generation where I got the most imported games ever. Just because there was no physical version in my region (looking at you Capcom 👀). I also reluctanctly buy from Limited Run Games and other "limited" options which cash on fear of missin out. But I'd always rather have a physical game I can play in 10 years like I do with my consoles from 30 years ago.

The key cards is definitely stupid and I hope it fails miserably and goes away. But I doubt that'll be the case. The good thing is Nintendo -at least for now- will keep their first party releases physical.
