Nintendo introduced a survey on game-key cards early in August, and it was quickly spotted and shared on social media. It’s the second time Nintendo has asked players about the controversial key cards, following a similar survey sent to players in Japan. Game-key cards are one of the most controversial parts of Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch. But you can also lose the card just like you could with a physical game. While it’s not mentioned in Nintendo’s survey, game-key cards also pose a problem for preservation, which is already a huge issue for games.
