>as the benefits of digital over key-card are the exact same as the benefits over physical.
Yes, how is this not making sense to you? You gain none of the benefits of digital and all the downsides of physical. You gain all the negatives of digital copies with the only benefit of physical being that you can resell it.
You don't have a game on your cartridge whatsoever.
You don't play the game off the cartridge, it needs to be installed on your system.
You don't have the original version of the game, only the latest update.
You can't install it offline or play it offline in perpetuity.
If your system is banned the game can't even be downloaded with a GKC because it requires access to the eShop to even play it whereas a proper physical copy can just play it.
A physical copy has downsides but you actually own the physical copy in a multitude of ways and gain benefits from that physical ownership that aren't present with a GKC.
>But to say "it's a key-card and not physical, and thus I will go digital" makes no sense from a logical standpoint.
It does, because the GKC's only benefit to you as a person is that it can be resold. If you do not want to resell your game you have zero benefits from a GKC at all and a digital copy will always be better in every single way as it doesn't have any of the downsides that come with a GKC due to it being a physical product. All the downsides of digital with none of the benefits.
