Sounds like it would become a major target for pirates to me. The 24 hour check-in requirement on the original DRM heavy XB1 was designed as an anti-piracy measure if I remember correctly. |
I think? I know. DRM isn't exclusive to digital only platforms. Piracy isn't only an issue if you're digital only. The Wii U, PS4, XBO, 3DS, and Vita are all just as succeptable to digital piracy as the pre-launch XBO was. If Nintendo were going to impose harsh anticonsumer DRM policies, they'd be doing it now. Providing a physical option doesn't magically deter piracy.
But guess what! They aren't! I can play my Wii U games and 3DS games offline forever, and I'm already all digital. NX will be the same, because Nintendo isn't being run by self-destructive morons.
