Is Game Key Card?

@BenjaminAyers77 @JamesBCrazy Personally, I believe that a physical-format game should include the actual game on the cartridge, so even if a GKC cartridge is tangible, it doesn’t contain the game itself, and therefore it isn’t a physical edition.

@IsGameKeyCard @JamesBCrazy Yes there was. GKC’s are still literally physical items. You can tangibly hold the card in your hand and insert it into the console. I prefer the game actually be on the cartridge, but this is definitely still the second best option. I’d much rather have that than digital only.

🚨The store Videogamesplus has stated that the GKC format edition of the video game STARBITES has been canceled. However, it will still be available in a real physical format for Switch 1 and PS5. 🚨

@sanguinex @JamesBCrazy Of course, for me they’re not a true physical format. You’re buying a cartridge, but the game isn’t actually on.

@JamesBCrazy @IsGameKeyCard No matter how much you try to gaslight, GKC are not real physical media

@JamesBCrazy Also, I’m just reporting the information without making any judgment. Whether you like GKC formats or not is something you have to decide yourself.

@JamesBCrazy Well, the thing is, there wasn’t actually a physical edition from the start 😅
