I don't have to post three separate tweets whenever I post the MK League results. Check a look, everyone. I'm the only person in the world who thinks that's the coolest thing in this update. 4

Does it have implications for selling your Switch and wanting to keep your account?
Grazza Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Just a heads-up - it's actually better to upload images to Twitter individually if you want to copy & paste them. I tried some multiple uploads earlier and you just don't get as many options once they're posted. 1

You have a primary Switch (on which all accounts can play, as they could before), you can now log into a secondary Switch where only you can play your digital games - other account holders/profiles are blocked from doing so. As a workaround, others could play on YOUR profile (allthough this blocks you from playing on your Primary Switch). You don't share you games library, which is a shame as far as I'm concerned; Nintendo wanted Switch to evolve to a personal device for every member of the family - something that will not be acheived if families cannot share a games library. 1

Does it block you from playing that particular game if someone else is playing it on another Switch, or it blocks you from playing your Switch full stop, for any game? If the former, that kind of makes sense doesn't it?
david.dakota Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 It's always your account playing, you're not sharing it with another persons account. It's no more "sharing" than handing someone your console and letting them play on your profile. As far as I can tell, every other platform holder lets you share your purchases across a family group (or similar) - that's peoples expectation of sharing digital purchases.
