[QUOTE="Axido, post: 10086970, member: 344932"] I totally get your frustration and I agree that the way Nintendo handles this isn't optimal, but what I can't quite grasp is why you dismiss my proposed solution. It literally solves what you are complaining about, so I'll try to explain it as detailed as possible now: You see, if you got an account A, that account can be linked to a total of two Switch consoles, a primary Switch and a secondary Switch. Now consider another account that we call B. B can be any account that's not A, regardless of region, owner, etc. (for example an account you make to get access to a different eShop region). Let's assume B is linked to the primary Switch of account A. In this case B can use all purchases made by account A as well without having to pay for them itself. Now, if you link B to the secondary Switch of account A, this will not work. On the secondary Switch only A can access its own content. A can never access the same content on both Switches at the same time, but in this case, it doesn't have to as B will be the one accessing A's content on A's primary Switch. Long story short: If you know what the primary Switch for the account that holds your digital purchases is, then use a different account on that exact Switch to play them. And if you want to use the same purchases on two consoles simultaneously, you just need to link that account to a secondary Switch on which you play the game with the account that actually purchased the content. As you apparently already linked your account to two Switches, you can easily try this right now. Get your two Switches, try to load a digital purchase with a different account on both of them. On one it won't work and tell you that you are not allowed to use the content, but on the other it will work. The latter is the primary Switch for that account. You may want to start using a different account on that Switch to play your digital purchases, so that your secondary Switch is still allowed to play them using the account that bought them. And et voilá, you paid once and can play on two separate consoles at the same time. Was that clear or do you prefer a chart/video/TED talk? [/QUOTE]
