I cancelled too! I really wanna see what excuse Microsoft will pull out to walk back the changes.

Hit 'em where it hurts, people.

Honestly, I've kinda gone back to buying physical media.

I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.

I'm eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

    For PC games that's impossible, at most you can find a disc-shaped steam redeem code

    Family Share works really well in my experience. It worked better when I could change the users more frequently but this model is still works pretty well.

    Is there a way to share a single game and use your library still?

    I share my library with my son and when he’s using a game my whole library is unavailable to me, unless something has changed (or I’m old and ignorant … also likely)

    I've never gone away from buying physical media, but I could understand exactly why you would want to return to it.

    For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.

    But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.

    For me, with the Switch 1, I was worried about wanting to play a game but oh no it's back at home. Happened a bunch of times with my 3DS.

    But then I bought a case that had card slots in it, and that concern wasn't much of a concern anymore. Then the pandemic happened, and I never really left home anyway, which meant it mattered even less. So now I have a few digital games that are super annoying to share.
