Hey everyone!

CONTEXT: THIS IS A MESSAGE TO GAMERS WITHIN THIS SPACE OR ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE BENEFIT OF DISCORD VERIFICATION REMOVAL! I AM AWARE THIS PLACE IS gbatemp. Thats because I already reached out and they said they have no plans. but just because they have no plans doesn't mean enough gamer advocacy can change things! so, please consider being helpful and constructive! IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME THINKING AND READING ABOUT THE MESSAGE. DON'T BE LIKE

Hayato213 IT DOESN'T HELP THIS CAUSE.​

Nextendo Network is a free, community-run online service that brings multiplayer back for some Switch games (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Smash Ultimate, etc.). It works on both real CFW Switches and their Ryujinx fork, and it doesn’t require a Nintendo account.


The service itself is solid, but there’s gripe I have with it... Discord verification is currently required.


For a free, open-source alternative that many people are using specifically to get away from restrictive official services, forcing Discord feels unnecessary. Pretendo doesn’t require it, and it creates a barrier for players who simply don’t want a Discord account.


If you use Nextendo (or plan to), please consider asking the team to remove or make Discord verification optional. More player feedback increases the chance they’ll reconsider it.


Thanks in advance!

Asking here won't help since gbatemp.net are not affiliated with discord server.
you know you're not helpful either. when you could see that based on wording here I am talking to gamers asking you all to join in in my request. I already went to Nextendo and asked them and got the most disappointing answer. in most situations this usually calls for group support gathering enough people to suggest the same request to them.

Nextendo is vibe-coded turd released under a non-permissive license. Ridiculing them for it is the only way forward I can see.

Discord authentication is all too common when it comes to private servers. I agree it sucks tremendously, but try explaining that to them. If Pretendo (or some of its developers) ever expand into Switch private server development, I'm almost certain they will continue to maintain their own means of authentication, because they demonstrated they know better.

In the meantime, games with LAN mode and local multiplayer/ad-hoc with ldn_mitm sysmodule will keep working without the need to use official or private servers.

Edit: Also note that tagging the other poster comes off as rude if anything, calm your tits if you want to achieve something.
