Nintendo He did one yesterday Direct Before the one who will take place next week on Switch 2 and the truth is that she has brought another important novelty. One of them has been received by many players as excellent news when, in reality, it is even more what users can do with their digital purchases. We refer to this virtual card system which, at some point, we can temporarily lend to certain friends.
Many on social networks have worked to say that this system comes to shape a real and future digital format, unlike the one we even had Cahora where a purchase could not leave the account that bought it. They are surely right, and this 14 -day loan to colleagues from the same family group is an important step but there is a dark face. Very dark. Nintendo has completed a system that will be much more restrictive.
Nintendo allows us to give games, in this way
On paper, everything painted wonderfully. Ahora digital purchases will be treated like virtual game cartridges and we can insert them or expel them from the console as if they were physical. So far, everything seems normal but suddenly, we realize that in the example of the video, when they tell us that “if we have two Nintendo Switch”, this is when the problems begin. Until now, when someone had more than two consoles, he could use his purchases without restrictions, interchangeably, simply fulfilling the requirement to have the internet so that the system could recognize that the story of this machine had acquired this game.
In parallel, one of our children, in our Main switchI could take advantage of this same game because everything counts on this machine has permits to do so even if the commune is not yours. It is the same PlayStation or Xbox system that helps that in family environments, it does not need to buy the same game twice. Now, with what he designed NintendoIf you expel the virtual game card from one machine and insert it into the other, obvious that you can no longer take advantage of two users at the same time.
Another thing is the loan within the family group, which is obviously an improvement in what was before, but it is an anecdote compared to the restrictive system which Nintendo He has just launched us, among the general applause, which certainly do not need to find solutions in the event that two children want to enjoy the same game at the same time, or a father and a son who want to enjoy the last Mario Y Zelda The same Dúa launch.
This is why, if it was confirmed that digital games become virtual cartridges that can only be present in a single console, as physicists, would be a step back from epic proportions and force us to ask Nintendo Why did he do something like this when so far the system used in a large part of the life of To change It worked without problems. Damage.
