Nintendo Switch owners with the console’s latest system update have noted that it is no longer possible to play the same digital game online across two systems simultaneously.
Previously, a Switch designated as a primary console could load up a digital game and play online alongside the owner of that game logged in via a second Switch.
TLDR: You could share bread as long as they are in the same store, now you have to either lend your bread priviledges to a friend or make them buy it for themselves.
actually forget this tldr, no one will understand it, not even myself, I don’t own a switch.
I assume this will be a deeply unpopular opinion, but I don’t really see an issue with this?
If you buy a game physically you can’t have the cartridge inserted in two consoles at the same time. Why would the digital version work any differently?
That’s good marketing on Nintendo’s part. You could play on two devices before.
But, again, this is physically impossible with an actual cartridge. The fact it worked with digital copies was just a loophole that they have now closed, surely?
Hard to call it a “loophole” when it was listed on Nintendo’s own website less than two weeks ago.
You can check it by making these choices:
I only own a single Switch so I never used this, but considering they listed this officially before I’d say the compaints about downgrade are 100% reasonable.
Depends who you ask. Users said it was a feature, nintendo says loophole.
Hows it a loophole when it’s on their site.
