Is the Switch 2 saved from online drm? It looks like PS4/PS5 and even Xbox(rumor) require online check ins for new digital games. I'm aware that NSO requires a check in every 2 weeks which makes sense since that's a subscription service and that Nintendo can brick your console for playing pirated games and swearing on online games, but I primarily play offline on my switch 2 and I do have digital games so is this going to affect switch 2 digital games?

every console operates this way. nintendo/sony/microsoft gives the game a license and they can revoke it at any time. nintendo when they ban you. sony when they removed concord from peoples trophies list. microsoft when they also ban you.

Mold Man, what does this mean?!?!

Doesn't affect digital Nintendo Switch games though. This is only for NSO.

>game key card
Nintendo and indie games will be on carts.
>>
>>737632982
nintendo can ban those carts and your console

How? I don't play online and I don't pirate. Low IQ retard.

every console is doomed to complete DRM, its been known that nintendo's just behind the curve.
take the PC pill.

>>737632982
Not all Nintendo games
>>
>>737633743
Pokemon isn't entirely owned by Nintendo you faggot. And they don't even develop those games, game freak is literally making an Xbox exclusive game right now.

PC was the first to shed physical games and the first to implement shit like always online even in single player games.

You should take the piracy pill, pirate and backup everything you play, be it on PC or console. Jailbreak all your consoles. Don't buy consoles that haven't been hacked yet.

Game key cards don't require online check ins :)
>>
>>737635353
No one gives a shit about key cards. Just buy actually carts and after 8 years you're going to have a shit ton of games. Switch 2 isn't even 1 year old yet.

digital is the natural endstate for a multitude of reasons, its how its gone about that matters.
consoles are doomed to to be a DRM hellscape since the machines are created by one company and one company alone, they are more or less given free reign to do whatever the fuck they want. you are limited to their ecosystem, what they want you to see, and whatever changes they make to the console.
dont like it? pick one of the two others that are doing the same exact shit.

with PC, everything is your choice from the parts to the programs you download and even the operating system, and most of it is compatible with each other. there is an inherent limit on how much bullshit a given company can perform because people just wont use their shit.
DRM and always online? you can cut it away if you know how to code. if its steam's DRM in particular there's even a tool to cut it out that steam hasnt done anything about.

>Nintendo can brick your console
They really can't.

>>737633605
Man, snoys are melting hard and denying it's all fake lol
>>
>>737633363
So your cope to Sony’s actions is that others can also hypothetically do it?
>>
>>737638618
that others will do it*
console companies all copy each other's shitty practices with enough time.

If nintendo did this there be fucking articles and youtube videos everywhere within damn minutes.
>>
>>737639389
It could be one person making shit up and we'd see the articles and videos everywhere. Remember the 30% production reduction that Nintendo had to respond to.
>>
>>737632253
can't imagine being a fucking snoy right now
how pathetic

and the fact people STILL though nintendo themselves were lying afterwards is pure insanity.

What are you talking about? He got Don't Starve from PS Plus. The time limit only shows up for PS Plus subscription games. Am I the only one here with a Playstation to confirm how pajeetbrained retarded this board is?

And new purchases.

Yeah, it's over, I'm already making the "Switch" to Nintendo and Steam hardware.

Thank you for verifying and I'm sorry for the trouble. I'm not going to tell you to sell your PS5, but I would definitely recommend buying from other sources if you can. Also physical.
>>
>>737642571
This was my PS4
>>
>Literally not a single news site outside of twitter is saying anything about this
Once again. It's okay when Sony does it.
>>
>>737642414
>it's actually real
Sorry you found out this way, buddy. Grab a PC and join us on the high seas

It's undeniable at this point. But he'll keep trying.
>>
>>737642626
Then you're better off staying with it and getting new games on PC or Switch 2 Obviously the same issue is on Steam to a lesser degree, of course but there's also GOG and emulating. And again, getting physical PS4 games. Have you heard of Vanillaware? They make great anime games. Odin Sphere and 13 Sentinel are a personal favorite of mine and they go on sale often.

I can attest as well, bought this cheap game to see it.
By the way is this any good? i'm not gonna cry over 2.79€ but if it's already on my console, why not.
>>
>>737642869
>>737642707
I have hundreds of games to play on my psn account. I don't really know what the point of this timer thing is about but I can't exactly just ditch my account that's worth close to maybe a couple thousand.
>>
>>737643109
Oh that's so fucking funny I just got that plat for that just 2 days ago. Yeah it's pretty good but you'll need to repeat the process dozens of times.
Dont go into it thinking it's a typical beat em up it's like hades
>>
Funny how snoys made fun of the switch 2's game key cards but now they're going to have to defend this shit because sony is their friend
>>
>>737643114
Fair enough. Enjoy.
>>737643109
I enjoyed it and I'm not even that big of a TMNT fan.
