On the one hand I agree.

On the other hand, we’ve moved to a world where digital purchases make sense and games are rarely shipped without patches or later content. We need a better way to manage them. It’s silly I have a steam library that I can’t resell virtually any part of.

Nintendo’s system seems to let users at least do these sorts of license transfers, no? That seems like a win over the digital status quo even if the physical cards aren’t what they once were.

Yeah that’s a good grounding point; there are too many things out there that seek to sow division with “hot takes” and a lot of them are highly ignorable.
