Fuck you Nintendo. Because if you lose or damaged the game card, making it unreadable by the card slot, you won’t be able to play the game. Due to the game card having the license that allows you to play the game. You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it, gamer.
Remember when Sony fans were laughing at PC players for refusing to make a PSN account to play games on Steam, even going as far as saying “it’s just a sign in, what does it matter?”. Will the table has turned.
The difference is what people want from their games. If you want a living open world with NPCs who react to stuff. You’re going to have a bad time with Avowed. But if you don’t care about that stuff. Avowed is the game for you.
