I mean, if digital games were always excluded from this form of preservation, and digital game cards are just a step up in terms of store discoverability, I think it did.
They’re obviously incredibly inferior to full game cards. They’re not much better than digital games, but they’re better than “We’re not releasing on Nintendo Switch because no one will see us in the eshop and since the game sells for $10 we can’t afford game cartridges.”
… why would it be? It is literally just a transferable serial key that is fully dependent on nintendo’s content servers to download the games.
Might as well say that the scratch off card in a PC game box should be preserved.
Fuck Microsoft. But if you ever wondered if the xbox one reveal event would have gone down a lot better today… just look at how confused people are over what the hell they are even buying from the big n.

As someone that’s always been using Steam, I really didn’t understand the issue with it either.
I’m paying for a physical copy for a reason. It better be on there or I’m not buying it. One of the reasons I stopped buying on XBOX, the refuse to use 100Gb disks and 90% of their disks are coasters.

If game developers don’t think their product is valuable enough to be preserved, why should I think it’s worth money and buy it?
What about at the Full Fat Library?
I think that’s exFAT.
As designed.
