    The fact that Nintendo is trying to bring back literal license dongles with their Game-Key Card, when dongle DRM died in the '80s for games for a reason, eg. what if you lose your dongle? You can’t play your game that uses it anymore, don’t help matters.

    Discs on PS4/XB1 and PS5/Series X are figurative license dongles, which is probably worse as a 50GB or 100GB disc respectively will have been wasted on DRM for a game you still have to download anyways, but Nintendo is using literal license dongles.
