Remember when you use to buy a Switch game and the game would atleast partially before updates, be on the cartridge?

Well imagine buying a key cart for your Switch2 and, you have to download the game from their servers from scratch. The game doesn’t download itself to the cartridge, but onto your Switch 2 consoles internal memory.

Now imagine getting a bad update and trying to delete some data including the update, just to play with the original games version.

physical Key cart games are treated just like they are digital which means you can’t revert the update.

Even if the game is saved onto your Switch’s internal you cannot legally play a key cart game, without the key carts inserted in your switch.

The game data is not stored on the key cartridge but on your switch’s internal memory.

    They made a really shitty situation (not owning your games) a little less shitty.

    Did they? Sounds to me like they just added extra steps and a physical item that locks you out of your game when you lose it.
