What happens when you have a secondary Nintendo console? I have 2 Wii's but never bought anything digital for it. 2 x Switch is not unlikely in the future. Can you play digital downloads on both or will it be tied to the console it was downloaded on? Is it possible to transfer it to another console?
My old desktop can't play any of its installed Steam games anymore. Its network module failed and Steam wasn't in offline mode at the time. Since it's just a secure place to backup stuff I don't care that it doesn't connect to the internet anymore. (hardware failure, needs a new network card. I tried a wifi stick yet ironically that needs to go online to install in windows 7) It can still run physical games (fsx runs fine on it) all Steam games locked out.
I was playing them on my account, psn was having issues. No grace period, blue screen of accusation instead! If they were on my primary console you can play them on any account offline. This whole primary/secondary console business isn't very user friendly. Same with save games locked to accounts, player 2 not getting the same save progress nor access to shared worlds. #forthesingleplayersonly. |
Well obviously it's not something illegal, but there needs to be some sort of limit in place. So the question is, why do your kids need to log in to your profile in order to play a game? Couldn't they have their own profile?
Otherwise you might as well share your profile between an entire family and friends and have a shared library.
Perhaps a good workaround would be an IP check and if the 2 consoles are connected have the same IP then it could recognize they are 2 "primary" consoles on the same household. Still it wouldn't be ok to have the same game playing on both consoles at the same time, but as long as the game being played was different it would be like having a physical disk in the tray.
