Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games

Stop buying Nintendo products
I would never buy another Nintendo product after I bought the switch, played it for 2 months and never picked sit 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
Never attribute to malice what can better be attributed to only using it for a couple months and not looking into family sharing yet
No, user accounts on the same console have access to any physical or digital games on that console, just like with PS4 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.
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.
Never buy digital media
Keep buying Nintendo products so that we have systems with good games. They’re stuck in the last century but that’s for better AND worse.

The Switch was my last console purchase; I’m never buying another console from anyone ever again. I haven’t touched it in years cause every time I new game comes out that I want to play, I just pirate it instead. Why bother playing new releases on an underpowered, outdated handheld that struggles to render in 1080p, when I can play them in 4K on my PC at 60-120 FPS instead? Seriously, fuck Nintendo. Between their crappy hardware and crusade against gamers, I have zero reason to give them another cent of my hard-earned cash.

I grew up as a PC gamer (if you can call 8-bit computers PCs too) and never had a console as a kid. I got an Xbox One when it came out, just because of the Kinect, and never played anything on it other than Just Dance. Playing on my PC is more convenient. I got a Switch and played some Pokémon, but couldn’t get in the habit of playing on a device instead of a PC. When I got a Switch emulator on my PC, I played more on that than I did on the actual Switch in all the time I owned it.

I remember back when I was a teen, emulating GBA games on our family laptop because I had no money. I did not buy one single Nintendo games (for myself), but played 90% of the Zelda series. Great games, annoying ass company.

The Steam Deck seems like a decent console, if that counts, because you’re free to do what you want with it
But perhaps you consider that to just be a handheld PC instead of a console, which I suppose is true

Did you buy Nintendo console for performance or were you just surprised because it was your first and you didn’t check what you were buying?

Of course not; don’t be silly. There were no emulators available when I bought one. Plus it was more of a present for the GF anyway, and she still uses it as a Ring Fit machine.
