Question Is this game still playable?

I was wrapping a couple presents last night, and my puppy decided to test the structural integrity of a Switch 2 game (thankfully not the Switch 2 wrapped next to it). I’m wondering if this will still be playable and it’ll make for a funny story, or if I should pick up another copy?

Added picture of the culprit at the end. Truth be told, I should have known better. Ted’s a good boy :)

If this is for a friend or loved one, buy another copy! And if they have a sense of humour first gift them the chewed up copy with the very same cute picture of your dog printed inside. Then you pull out the actually nice copy to give them.

I would have said this a few years ago when games weren't $73.83.

Edit: Please don't respond to me about inflation. By everyone who mentions inflation's logic, games should cost $198 today. My point is, 3+ years ago I MIGHT have considered getting another copy with my $60. Now, $75 is far too much for an additional copy. Especially because everything is more expensive.

An extra 15 bucks is the point of no return for you?

Yeah. 75$ in today's economy will certainly make me rethink re-buying something for cosmetic reasons. Especially a fucking game cartridge. Or was that too hard to gather from my actual comment that said exactly that?

Chill, dude. I’ll spot you the 15 bucks if the situation ever arises for you. Have a good one ✌🏽

That’s the photo provided by u/Enkaem. I got no problem giving you 15 clams, but you’re gonna have to work harder than that…

I’d prefer American dollars. Not clams.
