That's odd... My partner bought the game and I can play it on the same device with my profile.

- bluefirebrand 3y agoDigital copies are linked to one account, physical copies can be shared freely. Don't buy digital, it's never worth it.
- alexilliamson 3y agoShe bought digital and I can play it though.
- astura 3y agoThey can be downloaded to a switch and once they are on the switch an account playing that switch can play any digital games on the switch. They don't even tell you which account "owns" the game.
- bluefirebrand 3y agoI think this is only true if they are local Switch profiles. If they are linked to a different Nintendo online account they need to buy their own copy of the game? Maybe I'm wrong about that...
- astura 3y agoYou're wrong about that.
- bluefirebrand 3y agoInteresting. I spent a bit of time reading Nintendo's FAQ on this topic and it seems you're right. They are a lot more permissive with their digital copies than I expected, honestly.
- circuit10 3y agoBuying digital is worth it to me because I’m very disorganised and I will lose the cartridges
- ygjb 3y agoMy kids are both actively playing TOTK on their profiles on my switch with a single digital purchase. There have been other games where this has been problematic (Animal crossing I think limited some features per device instead of per account).
- WhyNotHugo 3y agoSome games simply have no stock of digital copies (at least not in the Netherlands). And haven’t had in months.
