Mike A:
How practical of a concern is that?

Can companies yank a game that I purchased, or does any online functionality just cease?

Do modern downloaded games have some kind of key that needs to be unlocked online every time you play?

Mike A:
So I started playing Hollow Knight. It is a fun game so far.

It seems to be in the style of game that I remember.

I liked some of the old PC games where you just started playing. There was no big preamble. There was no internet so you had to figure things out for yourself.

It doesn't hold your hand too much and it doesn't over explain everything in the beginning.

Some of the games I watched my son play had tutorials that seemed to last forever.

The only complaint I have is combat is a little too easy.....so far.

I am not sure about the Switch specifically but the PS4 for instance requires you to have online verification for some games and wont allow you to play without.
So yeah once the service ceases to exist you are screwed.

If the game downloads to your memory card and you can play offline then its fine unless the software gets corrupted or the memory card fails etc.

The real daft thing is I have noticed most big games are actually more expensive to buy digitally than hard copies!

Oh and dowload yaself a copy of gunlord x for switch, Thank me and rant at me later :)

Mike A:
Thanks. I have two games to work my way through right now. I will put that one on the list.
