    My switch is in the closet, so no. But, if I did currently play switch games, yeah.

    I dislike the pricing, but I feel like it’s probably fair. I like comparing $price/hr-entertainment vs. going to the movies. I think for most games, it will still be better value. But, I can understand using other metrics. A dropout.tv subscription is only 6.99/mo and there’s at least a couple hours of new stuff being added to that each month, I think.

      It’s fair for Mario kart where 7 others can join without owning a license. The social play elements can justify costs for a few.

      Their narrow audience targeting could be a risky bet. We’ll see.

        3 others can play Mario Kart or 7 other can play Smash Bros. on my Switch without any of them owning any games or hardware.

          If a group of people contribute to owning game library it encourages social gaming. That’s the nintendo move imo.

            We had a shared Wii U at my university dorm that everyone bought games for. You could do the same with a group Nintendo Switch.
