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 thought that as well, otherwise the whole world could just use one account to play. Where was the limit?
Well, families on NSO have a limit of 8 users. So I thought 1 could play online, and 7 offline at most.
It might depend on the game, but I could play Splatoon 3 with my kids online at the same time. We’d play on the same team and everything. Now I have to buy another virtual copy. Which I guess is fair from Nintendo’s perspective, but fuck $80 a game in today’s economy and they won’t even let me play with my kids when:
the game has no split screen option
I pay for a family NSO account
Pretty shitty.
