Switch 2 cases really seem terrible(new buyer).
context: So Ive been a die hard PC(Steam) gamer for about 15 years now. However after catching wind of the death of physical media, aswell as feeling nothing when looking at my Steam library of 500 games, aswell as insane raising PC costs.. ive decided to pick up back were i left off with gaming, which means using physical media and buying a little cheaper hardware and may be feeling something from my game collection.
Since Sony and basically Microsoft has announced they no longer cared about physical media i figured Nintendo was the last real option(it helps that im a die hard mouse user and the joycons can be that!). So ive bought the switch 2 and some games(which recently arrived), And while yes it feelz great to have the physical box again.. im left extremely disappointed by(what is apparently) today's game boxes...
These are truly appalling to me. I come from a time where you not only got a big clear box with most of it covered in art with alot of promotional screenshots, But also with little booklets inside.
Compared to these where alot is a bright ugly red, and most of the space is used to instead fill it with with like 10 billion labels of branding warnings and caveats.. AND nothing but a cartridge inside.
Its just super ugly af. Dont get me wrong, im glad to actually own my games and see them next to me, But wow does this kinda seem like a psyop to get people out of game ownership...
Just alot of whiplash. Wondering what yall think of all this. Am i just being overdramatic?
And It ofcourse also bothers me that they invented an entirely new concept of "game keycards" to avoid actually putting the game in the box.. Is it really so expensive to just put the game on the cart 0.0 and even if it is, why not still alow it and simply charge a little extra for it, i'd pay 5 or 10 bucks more to actually have the dang game on the cart.
