For the games that have cartridges, sure. When I bought a "physical copy" of Puyo Puyo Tetris, I thought it would be a cartridge but it was just a code to redeem inside a case. Waste of plastic if you ask me.

Respectfully, if you read the box it's pretty clear what you're getting.

What annoys me more are cartridges that (literally) require an additional online download. But even then, game covers are pretty clear about the requirement. I avoid those games.

I think their complaint is actually valid in these instances. You're paying top dollar and only getting a digital code. Pretty raw deal, if you ask me.

They're useful for kids who don't have easy access to a credit card. I personally don't think retailers are trying to trick anyone. How would you suggest they be more transparent?

It makes you able to resale!
