Region hopping Switch owners shouldn't use G2A to buy regional eShop codes because of how easy it is to sell stolen content. Avoid it!
The PlayStation Mid-Year Deals promotion has a bunch of games worth checking out that are priced at $4.99 or below.

Wow… Nintendo is champ in Japan, but the speed of sale is remarkable.
Proves that console gaming isn’t dead yet not by a long shot.

I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.
Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.
Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.
Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.
If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
The Epic Games Store wants you to join the FDI in this week's free game.

How G2A sells you stolen keys
Legitimate game company sells keys for their game/service online
G2A scammer buys these keys with stolen credit card information.
The stolen keys are listed for sale on G2A, which you unwittingly buy.
The owner of the stolen credit card reports these charges to the police and the credit card company then issues a charge back for all the illegitimate charges.
These chargebacks come with a fee, which the original merchant must pay. If the original merchant is a small studio or indie developer, this can bankrupt them.
The game company can disable the keys purchased with stolen information, which then impacts you since you bought a key secondhand.
You lose the key you paid a smaller amount of money for and the scammer loses nothing.
