The thing is: the Switch has a clear ToS, and if the user breaks it they can get into trouble. OTOH, if you release your game in Linux... that's it

- riddley 11mo agoThe games have ToS though right?
- Almondsetat 11mo agoThe Switch is a closed proprietary platform, so Nintendo can give some guarantees, and if the user does something at the Switch level, the responsibility of legal action will be on Nintendo, saving up headaches to the publisher.
- dotancohen 11mo agoBeaches of a Terms of Service agreement have no inherent legal penalties. Some actions which breach ToS may be illegal, but that has nothing to do with them being outlined in a ToS.
- lawn 11mo agoBad excuse, they could rely on Steam ToS for example.
- surajrmal 11mo agoCreating a steam account is cheap. Needing to buy a new switch is not.
