    People really really latched onto the key card narrative despite it all being 3rd party publishers making use of it. The lone exception as far as I know is Pokopia, which as a Pokémon title comes with all the usual fucky bullshit that comes along with TPC and GameFreaks… but it was published in the west by Nintendo themselves.

    It may be the only one, but people have convinced themselves that it’s everything and no amount of facts will sway them otherwise.

      And the fact is, the vast majority of game key cards are games that are on PC as well, so preservation isn’t much of an issue. Pokopia is a notable exception.
