Because you need it to play them on Switch.

But everyone doesn’t, piracy is still rampant.

I mean, PC games are constantly pirated across the world, but Steam has done things right. Switch games somewhat, although the difficulty means it’s not that popular.

Because of physical media.

Sure, but that’s a different issue; I agree with that. Don’t forget that if you even are allowed to ‘buy’ them, they will close the online service for that platform in the future with no guarantee you can use it on another platform.

But you don’t have the sub (cheap when sharing a family pack) so you can’t play the N64 games anyway.

Right, but he sub is shareable and a pretty cheap barrier for entry… and required to play those GameCube games anyway.

So there will not be a way to play it when they eventually turn off their online service for the console. Uh huh. They were what we thought were the last bastions of protecting content/games, now… yeah, okay, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again here.

Which games aren’t they selling?

I felt similar about the Remake, it was… Just lacking something. I never played the original so my connection wasn’t so strong, I just expected more.

No they don’t.

Make a dummy one.
