[QUOTE="Localhorst86, post: 8243432, member: 351627"] Yes, I know it's the publishers choice. But the additional data is hosted by N and they can block you from accessing the content, making your physical copy useless. As it is always with laws, it's simply not easy to say what courts would decide. It's a fuzzy subject concerning many issues. One could argue that Nintendo only has to provide you the product once. Once it is on your switch, they can't take it back from you, but I guess nowhere in the law does it explicitly state they have to give you the opportunity to redownload it at a later time. If they did, though, how long would they have to provide you that opportunity? But that would leave open the question about backing up the data for this game. How exactly does this work on the switch? Is there some way for us to back the data up once we downloaded it? Is the data for these games (Doom, LA Noire, Wolfenstein) also blocked? [SPOILER="anecdotal story"]Here's some anecdotal story regarding a similar issue I ran into with music purchased on google play a few weeks ago, even though it's somewhat off-topic: I bought music on Google play about two years ago. Google Play allows you to download the song in a DRM free format (.mp3) a set number of times (can't recall if it's 2 or 3 times). After that, you can't download it anymore. But you have a DRM free copy that you can back up to wherever you want, use it on any device you want etc. Now, I downloaded this song once and burned it to a CD for my mother (I basically purchased the music on behalf of my mother as she didn't feel technically adept to do it herself).
