That’s a different but sort of similar thing applying to digital games only. By syncing with a member in your Switch family, you can lend the license for a digital game that you own for a limited time. During that time period you won’t be able to access that software as if it were a physical copy.
That part makes sense. I guess I’m just wondering that when you download a Switch 2 game, you use that cart as a key or license so you can play a game as long as you possess it. Otherwise, lending it to someone else, you’re out of that game despite the data being in your system until it’s returned.
More precisely, is the game key card concept designed to prohibit sharing the game from one person to another, or instead does it act as a physical license, where the holder has the right to download a software title and use the card to play it.
Im thinking the latter and the game key card is a cheaper to manufacture option for smaller distributors to put more product on shelves. Hopefully you can still use the physical option as a means to share with or even resell games to others.

In our world, they'll probably jack the price up and still make it download-only.
