Switch Online Will Apparently Delete Your Cloud Saves When Your Subscription Ends

@Atzenkiller: This isn't true. They don't delete them when your sub runs out.

@sakaixx: Do it!

@Thirdrail1: Hahaha, that's great imagery. And Nintendo is definitely a little trapped in the past. I think the Wii and Wii U era were a lot more evident of that. And I think they're making strides toward being more modern now. Also, this article isn't actually accurate anyway. They don't delete your cloud saves as soon as the sub ends.

@uubershikamarux: The only reason you could before is because they offered a grace period. It was announced before the Switch even launched that online was paid. It's really funny to me that people get offered a discount or a grace period or free trial, then get mad when the gravy train is over. Also, it offers a lot more than just online play anyway.

@uubershikamarux: You could before. Now you can't.

@Archangel2222: I'm with you . The day everything goes digital all of us gamers are in trouble because we Willl be at the complete mercy of the console makers and publishers . Cant even play my digital games on extenal hard drive on my friends Xbox . What kinda mess is that if I payed for them .

@Archangel2222: And then what? The servers for last gen games are still up. Not talking about online servers but as far as I'm aware you can still download any PS3 game from the PSN store. And if eventually the day comes when you can't then you'll be able to download it elsewhere and play it on an emulator. Yeah, digital only is so bad.

Wanna buy any of the dozens of PS3 games that I've still got lying around and don't feel like selling for a coupe bucks? Cause I've got no use for them, but being able to add them to a digital library so they don't take up space would be nice. Just in case I ever felt like playing any of them again on a PS3, which is not very likely considering that a majority of all PS3 games is getting rereleased for PS4 now.

@Archangel2222: Yeah that's why I will resist this streaming future as long as possible. The only reason they want people streaming games is for higher profits and less cost plus they will eventually cut off your access to the game.

@Barighm: You forgot to resub? I'm sure that wouldn't have been possible if you actually had a need for it. So I assume you were resubbing just because, whether you were actually using it or not.

@kaminobenimizu: dude nintendo isnt poor, they have existed since 1889

@Xristophoros: I'm sure because this opens the door to hacking and roms on the switch.

@Sevenizz: Why aren't they backed up on the console?

@inkman66: You clearly did not understand the actual weight of what was lost.

@inkman66: What???? Take the political stuff elsewhere.
