Also, it's a plain downgrade from Switch 1 OLED. Inferior screen, abysmal battery life. It's just launch Switch 1 all over again. Except this time Switch OLED, Lite, and improved Switch base exist.
Nintendo is betting people will buy Switch 2, and then upgrade to a Switch 2 OLED later. So just don't. If you really really want a Switch 2, wait for the OLED model. And ideally for homebrew, but most people don't use it, sadly.
Guess there will be some exploit to root the switch 2, just as we had with the switch 1. Then we can dump digital roms and still own them, independent from the company.

And this is right after they deleted 500 movies/TV shows people paid for.
Clearly they didn't think digital is ownership either.

Corpos: Own nothing, hate it. Keep paying, keep consuming.
Piracy: Own anything, keep it, smile. Take what you can, give nothing back.

You should give back though, by seeding

True, got carried away on the pirate theme, should have added '(to the corpos)' to the end, or maybe just 'but seed'.

Take from rich (corpo), give to poor (leech).

Piracy is not a moral issue, it’s a service issue, and this just solidifies it

Yes but discs haven't been a "physical copy" for a long time already.
Buying a console full of DRMs, online switch-offs and proprietary protocols is the furthest thing you can do from "owning a physical game"

This is why I haven't bought a switch 2. I was so very excited about the announcement until I noticed that switch 2 would focus on digital.
Luckily the only game announcements I've seen that I want are the remakes to dragon quest and they are still physical on the switch 1

A reminder to those who hail steam as the savior: you're gonna get bit.
