When I first heard of this I thought it was a joke. Are they so desperate to put this game on Switch and show that they are supporting it by doing this? Making a stream only game defeats the purpose of putting it on the Switch since it is not as portable. They are probably better off just porting Resident Evil 1-6 at this point.

This is such a non issue in Japan. 

I don't really know what people think of this is in Japan and do not pretend to. They can be unpredictable over there unless you actually live there. Despite this, I still think this is still a problem outside of Japan. What goes on there will eventually happen here. Who is to say this won't be released here the same way?  The problem isn't so much that is available for streaming the problem is that it is only available for streaming. If I could actually buy that then there would be no outcry but there is no other option so an outcry is needed.

It's the exact same thi g with splatoon 2 though no? Unless you are playing the campaign the majority of it is online.

The difference is that I could buy Splatoon 2 and own it. I could play it unlimited times for as long as I want. If I want to sell it or lend it to someone I can. The problem is that there is no ownership with this. I am basically paying for a glorified rental. Rentals are nice but if I am given no option to buy the game that it just feels pointless to me. Splatoon 2 is a game I own. Resident Evil 7 is just a glorified rental. If they gave us an option to stream or buy I would not care but that is not the case here.
