Sure we could introduce a licence for using consoles, but for now its the only way Nintendo can stop people from using their console to pirate games. If there were no driver liscence, then they would probably take your car away or make it undrivable.

The issue is that Nintendo is paving the way to do it. If Nintendo wasn't fully intended to do it in the future, they wouldn't have added this in the first place. I can imagine throwing this before the Switch 2 launch is intended to see how people react, as well as check whatever legal hurdles might come out of it. If they throw it when the Switch 2 launches, it will cause a massive clash that could affect sales, but considering how quick the news cycle goes, people might have forgotten all this by the time the console launches.

On PC companies can ban your account and you lose access to your library that you paid for I'm sure Steam and Blizzard do this, this isn't really anything new.

I was going to say that digital games should be at least 15 cheaper than physical copies, based on what you first wrote. But then I saw you already brought that up later.

If digital games were actually 15 less, that would be okay, but it never happened. The digital publishers got all the extra profit. We, as customers, only got the convenience of having them digitally.

The license for driving cars is not to protect cars manufacturers, is for protection of civil society. There is no point in such licenses for consoles

If the only way for Nintendo to prevent piracy is to do shaddy illegal anti consumers practices, then keep piracy going

It's not like the current levels of piracy is making Nintendo to bankrupt anytime soon 

Yeah, my nephew got his Epic account banned by using a VPN (or that is what he says ), and lost all his library.

How can they pave they way by doing something they arent allowed to do in the first place? Im sorry, but it sounds more like they are doing something you wish was against the law rather than it actually being against the law.

The consumer is the one that wants an item that cuts into the publisher's margin, they should pay for it, not the other way around. 

Digital is the standard today, physical is just a secondary format, for people who need that they should be prepared to pay $15-$20 more a pop or get only a Game Key card. Even in the case of a Game Key card and/or Blu-Ray disc games (PS5) ... there's still the added cost of shipping/packaging + retailer wanting a $8-$10 cut per game .

If onion rings at a restaurant cost significantly more than french fries at virtually any restaurant you pay more for the difference, the restaurant doesn't magically charge less for fries, that would just be dumb to expect any business to run itself that way. 

Not the current levels, no. But if you just let people pirate your games, then that might become a problem.

Digital games are licenses, as such they can be removed. This is exactly the point of this conversation. Nintendo is trying to turn CONSOLE ownership into a license agreement. I.e. just like digital games the company can remove your right to play your console anytime they want
