It's so dumb, however this isn't entirely true. They note that after an extended period of time after your subscription has ended, if it isn't renewed the data could be deleted.

There is a grace period seen here;

Where it notes, "We are unable to guarantee that cloud save data will be retained after an extended period of time from when your membership is ended. However, you can continue to use the save data that is saved to your system memory."

We don't know how long that extended period of time will be but yeah, this thread is misleading. Same thing happened at reddit. And yeah, it is kind of Nintendo's fault for being not as transparent as we'd like but Sony deletes them too after 6 months.

FIFA's save file is 5gb, that's more than some cloud services allow even OneDrive cuts off at like 5GB. Cloud storage costs money, and $20 isn't going to cut it. Splatoon should be server side, but in the meantime this prevents even more cheating. Lets Go has good intentions to prevent cheating, item duplication, etc. Any more questions?
