The truth is that literally everything costs too much. $399.99 (switch 1 launch price in 2017 USD) is $524.57 in USD today (source so $499.99 bundle with Mario Kart World is actually cheaper than Switch 1 with no game.
Blame the system that fucked your currency, and refuses to raise your pay appropriately.
That was already possible. This lets the game run natively on a modern PC, as long as you supply your legally backed up rom image of your N64 cartridge of the game.
Also, if they trained AI on programming books which they licensed in perpetuity and free college courses and it became better than people at programming, then maybe vibe coding would be questionably good. But they didnt. In a system designed to exploit labor, they took the fruit of that labor without compensating those who deserved it (a crime that, as you elude to in your comment, is not socially acceptable), then they sold their snake oil which is NOT as good at the job it proposes to eliminate as the human worker, to a company which will pay for the privilege of exploiting that technology at the expense of the humans they will replace with it, while it does a worse job and generally makes life shitter for everyone in that entire supply chain, except for the Sam Altmans. Who, as we’ve seen in recent times, want to build tech bro kingdoms where they can exploit people further.
The problem isn’t the neural network, it’s the exploitation.
It’s like a virtual license file for a game. It’s basically the same system as before but now you can trade them with people on your friends lists.
People with kids: be sure to set parental controls on this before your kids are bullied into sending away all the games you bought them
WDIT: I see the article is not actually about the virtual key cards but the physical ones. This is a game cert without the game on it, just the license file. You still have to download it.
Honestly I think that fucking sucks because they can just take it away from you.
There are Virtual Game Cards, purchased and downloaded digitally from the eShop. These can now be traded, sold, gifted, loaned, etc. to other friends, which was not previously possible. (This could possibly require an NSO subscription, but I’m not clear if that’s true at all.)
There are physical game cartridges, which contain the actual game on them, and (from what I’ve heard) most games will be distributed this way.
Then, there are also physical carts that contain only the virtual game license file, thus that you have to possess the physical cart in order to download or play the game. Apparently, there are Switch 1 games like this already, but they are rare.
With the introduction of Virtual Game Cards, it is no longer possible (even on Switch 1) to play more than one copy of a game online at the same time, even with a min NSO Family subscription.
