Well, I believe you need to blacklist some games: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/61u4y8/lego_city_undercover_requires_internet_connection/">https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/61u4y8/lego_city_undercover_requires_internet_connection/</a><br />
Basically, some shitty companies are releasing a game in cartridge that will still require a 13GB download, killing the whole point of using a cartridge.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The truth is that the Game Industry is trying to push everything digital. You buy a disc and have to download more of the assets.</p>
<p>Consumers will put their feet down to end this practice. But when?</p>
<p>I see Switch carts as the last bulwark against this practice. Gamers are too savvy to buy physical when practices like this are done.</p>
<p>I only buy physical carts for Switch that do not require Internet to run (unless it is online multiplayer). If a game doesn&#8217;t do this, it can go fuck itself.</p>
<p>Blaster Master Zero can go fuck itself.</p>
<p>Shovel Knight can go fuck itself (until it goes physical).</p>
<p>No physical, no buy!</p>
