I love how it seems that the entirety of the US refers to it as "lockdown," despite most retailers being open for business, Karen bringing all 6 kids with her to Walmart, Kyle assaulting anyone who even looks like they suggest that he wear a mask, and legions of "essential workers" being treated like shit on all sides. Sure, "lockdown."
I had my washer 75% disassembled after it shat the bed last year. Was 90% sure what part failed and spewed oil everywhere, which would have necessitated 90% disassembly. The part was half as much as a new washer, and I had absolutely no way to effectively clean the outer bucket. The icing on the cake was disassembly showing how utterly inadequate water flow was under the agitator, with mold rampant despite regular tub cleans and leaving the lid open all when not in use. I felt bad buying a new washer instead of repairing, but the old one (which was still pretty new) was a piece of shit.
You have a Nintendo account. Under your account is your primary device. You buy a game under your Nintendo account. You can then play on any device that you're signed into. Or any account on your primary device can play the game. (Xbox had this same setup for years.) Working example: you buy Mario Kart. Your friend comes over. You sign in on your friend's Switch, and hand them your switch and they use any other account on the device (including local). You then can both play the same copy/license of Mario Kart.
Now there are two options: virtual game cards, and online licensing. VGC is what all of the noise/confusion is about. Online licensing is very similar to the old method, but they closed the loophole I outlined above.
This seems overly complicated, but at least on the surface more permissive than most digital storefronts. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Thanks for the info.
