How am I as a regular consumer supposed to know what a game key card is?

It's explained on the box. The important information ("full game download required") is on the front, and more details are printed on the back.

You aren't addressing any other point. But sense you seem particularly hung up about this fact, how do you feel about that being literally the smallest text written on the box art? Again, I say that is intentionally misleading. Is it legal? Not sure, for now they are getting away with it, but I do feel like that will change eventually. However, I'd be shocked to hear any genuine argument on how this isn't designed specifically to mislead people.

Personally, this feels like that bit in Seinfeld- "Hey, this ain't a wizard! It's a Willard!"

Maybe you should get your eyes checked if you think a banner several times bigger than the age rating badge is not visible enough.

I'm not addressing any other point because they all revolve around the banner being somehow misleading even though it isn't.

The age rating is standard across packaging and in plain language.

My points are not invalid if you use a screen reader or a font size extension.
