1 tb is a good start for most use case. 5 tb…? now you’re getting somewhere.

To an extent. memes allow you to go back to this since memes are user generated and cheap to make their isn’t much stopping users from “going back” to a less minimalist time on those memes. I do have to say though that I think there a number of reasons as to why companies are more into minalism these days.

1. Physical media is less prevalent, everything is happening online now, and so they might just be keeping in theme with modern web/app design.

2. open source software is more prevalent and because of this, why would companies innovate at all if the interfaces are available to them for free.

3. apple does it, and everyone has to follow apple. it’s the trend in business.

lol. My take away from this meme is.

The debate is, which flavor with Linux under the hood, should we use. and that’s the debate.

There is no specified roll back to version option, you would normally have to clear the downloaded data. On switch I know you could actually do this with Splatoon games, with a cartridge. With key carts it’s not happening.

So you know how you have enshitification in apps, services, etc.

You might run into something similar with Switch games.

that is understandable, but why does everyone else get charged more unfairly?

even when the Wii, Wii U, and switch had multi language support around $300 or some consoles even less in the past? Why is it suddenly now trying to justify being more expensive on the Switch 2?

from what I understand, there are three legally supported ways to play Switch games on the Switch 2 I might be wrong.

There are game cards, then there are game key carts, then direct download from eShop. The key carts, are probably going to always require a download of the whole game. Maybe Nintendo might prove some of us wrong on this.

To be fair I was talking about degrading from bad updates not just any update. Also, what I think is the most notable detail is that these physical key carts are treated as if you bought a game on the eshop, and downloads the game on your Switch. Not even onto the cart itself.

Do these key carts even have any internal storage on it at all? Probably does, for confirmation purposes.

It really is just e-waste. Because look at what Nintendo has degraded physical media into. Might as well just buy it on the eshop just so you can play the game without worrying abut having the cart in the console. Since the key cart is literally not much different from the digital.

If they don’t restrict the key cart to one switch via a license, you might be right about selling digital games. Tbh I would prefer to sell a physical game, on the cart knowing that the game would always be available.
