Due to the economic conditions we're in and how much money GKCs are saving publishers, it's hard to get excited for this.

Should be a good thing. Many PS4 games are under 32GB but I don't see publishers using them. Still gonna be expensive.

So much for AI being useful.
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

But it will still suck because 3rd party publishers will still use GKCs.

We'll see how things pan out. I don't have much hope though. These things are still going to be expensive and games are built today with SSD in mind.
Another option is to let developers put Switch 1 game cards inside Switch 2 game cases.

Don't know why that can't be a thing. This would fix the issue for smaller sized games that don't need that storage, speed and high cost of a 64GB card.

That said, this is great. Many PS4 games are under 32GBs.
I can confirm that smaller capacity Switch 2 game cards are in production but due to chip shortages it will take time before we see widespread availability

Despite the smaller capacity, these cards will still be expensive due to rising cost of materials

Game-Key Cards are not going away

If Nintendo was smart, let developers put Switch 1 game cards inside Switch 2 game cases.
Switch 1 + Upgrade Path

This is what every Switch 1 game should be doing.

Don't bother with Switch 2 versions.

I still would like to see a faithful remake of FFVII.

Meaning pre-rendered backgrounds, turn-based combat and a smaller world map. They can flesh some things out too.

Don't know why pre-rendered backgrounds have to be a lost art.

Maybe they can do it with a FFVI remake instead. :D

Or a new one.

Nobody wins in these mega mergers but better than Paramount I guess.

Friendly reminder. Republicans always tank the economy when they take control.
Bessent: "These 2008, 2009, 2010 financial rules were too tight. They hamstrung the American financial system. It was time for a change ... we have to take the financial system out of this straitjacket ... the regulated system is too constrained."

I just find it fascinating that small games like this can be on a 64GB game card.
