@arstechnica As a member of a multi-switch household, I’m 100% OK with keeping game carts, especially as long as Nintendo disallows family purchases of digital games

@antimirov @arstechnica Not from me. You can swap the game carts between devices and everyone can play on their own profile, but digital purchases are locked to the user who bought it. I’ll prefer the carts to digital until Nintendo does family purchases similar to Apple

@dssstrkl @arstechnica oh, I see now. You meant that because Nintendo doesn't allow digital purchases sharing, the card sharing is the way to go. Okay. Yes, I agree. Unfortunately

That was one annoying realization i had when buying my second switch, my wife could not play any digital games on the second switch
