Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community.

I would never buy another Nintendo product after I bought the switch, played it for 2 months and never picked it up again.

Wife uses it, has a bunch of digital games installed, daughter wanted to use it, create an account on same device and she has to buy them again. Another reason to buy physical but other consoles let you play games on different accounts, it's just Nintendo being c***s

Eh... They do have family sharing over multiple consoles and if it's just a different user on the same console then they can play all the same games as you either choose the user before starting the game or your have multiple saves in the game itself...

There are so many things to hate Nintendo for. Someone tell homie he doesn't have to lie to kick it

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Never attribute to malice what can better be attributed to only using it for a couple months and not looking into family sharing yet

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

All you have to do is click the game and click your profile. If they had even attempted they would know this

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

And in your estimation they probably did click the game and click their profile and they came to Lemmy to try to make a Nintendo look worse?

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

In my estimation they don't even own a Switch

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Well that would be quite weird!

This is the internet… we’ve both seen weirder!

No, user accounts on the same console have access to any physical or digital games on that console, just like with PS5 and XBox. Nintendo sucks and all, but not THAT bad...yet.

That’s definitely not true, I have at least two digital games that we share on multiple accounts.

[-] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago

That’s definitely not the way it works.

My partner has a switch. We both created as account on it. She buys digital games on it and everything that’s installed appears in the games list.

Anyone that picks it up can see that game list. If I’m playing then I pick a game from the list and it asks which account is playing and I can choose mine or hers. Then the game starts.
