    Can I ask where the material difference is to a game that requires a Day 1 patch download to work? With a Game Key Card, that patch is simply very large. You can still sell the game, just like a standard cartridge. And the Switch cartridges never had infinite shelf life to begin with, so they’re not suitable for archival either.

      Single player games should work without a day one patch. Not necessarily perfectly, but they’ll still work.
