      What’s pro-consunwr about this? Before I could play Splatoon 3 with my son with one DL game, but it seems like they’re not letting me do that anymore.

        I don’t think they’re taking the old method away, but rather adding an extra option for multi-device game sharing. At least I hope they aren’t.

          But I don’t see how it’s an added feature (I’m probably not smart enough to understand) because it looks like sharing is only for families, which is something we can already do. It seems more restrictive than anything. But hopefully we’ll be able to keep the old method as well because I can’t afford to buy multiple copies of the same game to play with my kids haha

          Oh, the flashcarts. I don’t think it’s scaring Nintendo into doing anything:) With Nintendo legally trying to kill emulators it’s the other way around unfortunately

              It’s a flashcart (that’s what I said in the first sentence). And I’m not surprised they’re still selling them if they’re in Russia (same if they were in China). I wouldn’t buy this shit anyway.

                Was actually made by a U.S. resident. He picked the Russia theme before a lot of the recent political garbage.

                  “Political garbage” they have attacked another country, unprovoked and without declaring a war, and it wasn’t the first time they did it even in recent years. Identifying with Russia/Soviet Union is not something that people should be proud of/making jokes. It was a regime that consumed more lives than 3rd Reich and seems to live on in Russia now.
