Recently got a switch. Digital games are same price as physical, locked to my account/switch and saves don’t move easily between devices. Steam deck, I can play on any hardware that can support it TV, PC laptop games cloud save for free. I can play online games for free. I know that games I buy today will be available in 10 years on my next PC. I only buy carts for the switch cause they give me more flexibility still not even the same as steam.

This is a desicion each Lemmy instance can make. ideally you join smaller grassroots instances that have privacy values and you won’t have to worry

My guess is it’ll vary instance by instance. You have to get on Google’s radar to start search your content.
