I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with the ability to remotely brick the device, is what made our household pass on the switch 2. We bought a second steam deck instead.

you have to pay a monthly subscription to backup your saves

Jesus fuck. I hadn't realized how bad things had gotten in Nintendo-land.

How long has Steam been backing up saves for? I can't even remember.

    they got the idea from pokemon games, how you need an app just store all the pokemon, plus another app for certain other features for the main pokemon game. before the switch/3ds transition, i believe you had to pay for "storing your excess pokemon" on a app.
