  • I don’t trust anything Nintendo sells digitally. They don’t understand (or have a toxic understanding of) digital ownership and takes active steps to limit how you can use your digital games.

    On Wii/Wii U/3DS you didn’t own your games, you console did and good luck if it ever broke/died.

    On Switch they finally move it to your account, but since the Switch 2 release you can’t play your games on another system without an active network connection. And no way to move the license to another console without them having an account or an internet connection.

    So while it’s nice to see Nintendo adjusting its prices, I think they’re trying to back out of the corner they put themselves in. I don’t see this as a reduction of digital prices, but rather a return to normal prices and a tax on physical games.
