Misunderstood what you said. Yes you can have both Switches online (I know because I play shared online multiplayer games this way with my daughter).Yeah, if you don't want to take the other switch online. It's not really the same thing as other systems.
You can have both Switches online playing the game at once, just like PS4 and XB1.Yeah, if you don't want to take the other switch online. It's not really the same thing as other systems.
Wait what? You feel digital games, specially Nintendos, are a scam because you paid full price?
Do the developers owe you a discount day one?
Don't you get rewards coins that translate to real money off from future purchases if you buy digital?
Don't you get double points for buying Nintendo games?
I think this is a shitty entitled attitude disguised as concern.
Not great, but what does that have to do with anything?
So it wasn't great, huh? Then that mean within time Nintendo may become reasonable with their download discounts on eshop, though the pricing comes down to the third parties who list their games.
uh, Nintendo has been selling digital games for nearly as long. My entire Wii U library is digital.So it wasn't great, huh? Then that mean within time Nintendo may become reasonable with their download discounts on eshop, though the pricing comes down to the third parties who list their games.
Not sure if you are aware but there are lots of sales in the eShop for a ton of games. Mostly 3rd party but even some Nintendonone show up.So it wasn't great, huh? Then that mean within time Nintendo may become reasonable with their download discounts on eshop, though the pricing comes down to the third parties who list their games.
...and it's not just down to third parties, many of them are making progress. Nintendo's first party pricing continues to be downright offensive.
Every day that I come to Era and see a thread where someone doesn't know the meaning of the word they use to make their point, I slowly lose more and more braincells.
Digital games are not a scam just because you can't sell them back or cost the same as the physical copy. That's nonsense.
If you don't think a digital game is worth the price someone is charging, then don't pay for it.
But like always, the blame is also related go the publishers. Like EA never lowered the MSRP of the likes of Mass Effect and Need for Speed...on Wii U. Despite their low sales and their bad blood back then.The fact that Nintendo's digital games rarely go on sale is very frustrating. For example, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is currently on sale for $40 at most retailers, but is still a full $60 on the eShop and other digital code retailers.
With PS, you can have a primary system that allows anyone on the system to play any of the games purchased by the primary user. Then you can have a second PS4 where the primary user from the first system can play any of the games that have been purchased by that user as long as they are signed into the account online.Now these thInge sound great! Looks like it's mostly Nintendo and Sony.
I guess what I'm saying is that digital games needs to be cheaper because of no resell value and no ability to share.
Digital games on PC are awesome. Steam has so many great deals that it's not even worth it anymore to get physical copies.
Surely you have the ability to read the OP and understand that the focus is not on the word "scam" but rather a discussion on price parity between digital and physical goods? Nothing needs to be cheaper or more expensive than it already is but there are absolutely savings on manufacturing, shipping, and stocking products.
Digital games allow me to share every game I purchase with a friend... They also allow me to have a gigantic library of games immediately available to me and the only space they take up is a small HDD attached to the console.
There are benefits to digital games as well.

People got confused because you can't have two of the same account online at once, but if you use a different account on the primary Switch it's not a problem.
But if your boss came to you and said, "hey, I see that you're taking the bus to work now. You must be saving a lot of money on gas, so we're going to pay you less." You would tell them to fuck off and pay you. The money you saved is yours. Same thing applies to game publishers.
Resell value and ability to share are not things that game companies want you to be doing with your games, nor do they figure into the actual cost of the games themselves, thus the parity between physical and digital games.
