So its the only way to do it. But it isnt available at launch. Hmmm maybe they think we could figure that theres other ways

They have not once said that there is, or will be any other way to do voice chat on the Switch. You don't think that with all the negative press they've gotten over this they would have clarified by now?

If you really think this is the only way there will just be no multiplayer until summer?
