I jumped ship from Switch to handheld pc. The pc game prices was a big part, especially older games don't hold value. For example I got Middle Earth shadow of war for like $6. I still sometimes miss my switch but I will definitely wait a while before I decide on a switch 2.
I am genuinely surprised that they're suggesting physical games that act as keys for digital downloads. What is the point of getting a physical cartridge if you can't play the whole game offline? I guess they're just trying to kill physical media, and this is the first step in this direction.
