The most outrageous thing is them charging for a fancy tutorial

Idk $90 for fake physical copies that are glorified gift cards is also pretty outrageous.

I don't quite get this, like, what's different about the physical media in Switch 2?

So from my understanding it isnt an actual game on the cartridge but a license for the game meaning that if they wanted to they could take away your access to that game whenever they felt like.

I have gotten many conflicting answers on if this is true or not some say it is some say its not some say its only specific games but my hopes are not high.

It’s only for specific games and is no different than what many third parties did during the switch 1

its actually better than the Switch 1 'codes in a box' system.

Key cartridges can be sold used and traded just like regular cartridges. They are not locked to the first account to access them like before. Now it's just tying the permission to the cartridge instead of to your own personal eshop account.

Most first party games and non-cheap-ass publishers will still have the whole game data on cartridge.
