[QUOTE="TehCupcakes, post: 7344236, member: 327041"] Physical cartridges and discs deteriorate... Albeit more from human misuse than age itself. Which situation is preferable is just a matter of how you look at it. I don't really think about games in terms of their resale value because a never buy a game I expect to sell back. (And of the ones I [I]don't[/I] expect to sell, very few do I ever end up selling.) Sure, not everyone is like me, but there is certainly a good chunk who are. What I don't know is what kind of game backup methods are available on the Switch. I would assume you can move games to an SD card, which means the game doesn't really die with the system, even if Nintendo were to shut down their servers. And even that is a long stretch - shutting down the accounts tied to game licensing would be the [I]very last step[/I] in cutting off online services, and would only happen when Nintendo is out of business or the Switch becomes utterly irrelevant, many years after its life; I'm talking at the point where 99.99% of users will never touch the Switch again. At that point, you've already got your money's worth and the preservation of games with physical copies is superseded by emulation. Going with the logic, "why would you invest in something online that could be shut down?" you would think nobody would spend money in online games... Yet people do constantly, despite the fact many of them don't live more than a few years. (The average MMO life-span is far less than a gaming console.) The experience is seen as worth the investment, even if only for a temporary experience. [/QUOTE]
