Gotta say, even if they still benefit the same monetarily, I can see where they're coming from creatively.
I mean I don't play much animal crossing but I feel it'd be pretty demoralizing to know lots of players use exploits to skip a lot of your game and not play it how it's meant to be.

The problem is that they have the technology to protect our saves, and they're not using it. That's bullshit whether we paid them for anything or not.
But it's even more bullshit, and even less acceptable for them to trot out these flimsy excuses, when we have paid them.
Irrelevant to the topic of the developers trying to prevent you from doing it -- which they are in their right to do as it is their game.
They charge for an online service of which cloud saves is a part of, but also a part they said would have exceptions from the very beginning.
Maybe it is time to stop caring so much about whether people may swap time values and more about people who don't want to lose access to all their progress were something to happen to their switch. This shit pissed me off with Splatoon 2 as well. I generally paid for the subscription so I could secure my save files.
I kind of can't, given that New Leaf saved on the cart itself. See, my wariness is over the save being on the console, and consoles being more prone to damage/loss of data.
It's a single player game. Only a control freak dev would give a fuck
If they're really worried about this, they can just make cloud saves always mandatory once you set them up with your save file and have them update in the background so that every time the game autosaves the cloud backup gets replaced.
this. I could care less whether someone wants to alter the time on their file. I just want to preserve my own file.
No it isn't dumb.
What's dumb is them saying it's so important to them that no one cheat, when that cheating only affects the cheater, that they're willing to fuck over loyal players who have invested hundreds of hours and lost a save.
If I see someone using save states I call the police, this just saves me that step. Thank you Nintendo
Nintendo's going to Nintendo. I understand they don't want people cheating the game, but at the same time, if something were to happen to your Switch, you're screwed out of time invested you'll never be able to get back.
It's very easy to turn off Wi-Fi.
Doesn't mean it's a "bad" one, either, just because you do not like it.
Exactly. You could remove the storage on a dead Gamecube, you can remove the cart on a dead DS or 3DS. Can't do that here. Your shit breaks, it breaks with everything on it.
WHAT?
Again, its fucking dumb for anyone to defend this. What do you gain from defending this? PLEASE.
Yes it is dumb of the developer blocking it and its dumb people defending it.
its a bad decision because you think it's fine means nothing, your point about them making it online only would make way more sense than this but no matter it's a bad decision
Honestly it just reeks of fanboyism, they're getting mad because the game they like is rightly getting criticized. It's not 2004 anymore, they have the technology and the possibility to do it, and it's a game that desperately needs it seeing how time consuming it is.
You are wrong
which would normally be online games but this is not a good thing and something that shouldn't be blindly defended
You can't download the cloud save backup without Wi-Fi, though. So they have an opportunity to run a check every time you download it (or try to upload a save) and scan for abuse.
Apparently though it says in the fine print that not all games support cloud saves so I can't get upset or criticize the devs for dumb ass decisions that make no god damn sense. SERIOUSLY I can't remember the last non Nintendo game I have played that didn't support cloud saves, regardless of genre.
It changes how the game is played. You are free to object and free to not play, but the game devs have some say in how a game could be saved and backed up since long ago.
Then that just means you don't like games that restricts your saves. That doesn't mean such games didn't exist, you just didn't like them enough to play them.
All right, here we go with the personal attacks in an attempt to discredit anyone who disagrees. New phase of thread reached.
Of course there are idiots defending this nonsense. If they REALLY cared about cheating then they'd make it always online and store your save files on their own servers so you couldn't manipulate them or roll back at all but still be protected if your switch breaks or is stolen.
But nah, Nintendo decided to go with the most backwards cheap ass option and screw over their customers and some of you fucks are still defending it lmao get the fuck out of here

No lies detected.
The idea that the devs would prohibit something as fundamental as being able to back up your save in favour of preventing save scumming in a singleplayer game is so ass-backwards. Particularly when people are actually paying for the 'privilege' of cloud saves. This is wrong.
There really is a defense force for everything. There's nothing these companies could realistically do that would result in a thread without at least one person licking their boots.
Isnt FROM the dev team that dont let you pause because they fear players could exploit it? Doesnt sound like they really dont care
Cool, so now we're just insulting people for having a different opinion about a video game.
Amazing.
It isn't a bad decision to prevent surely millions of players from properly saving their progress on a game they will spend over hundreds of hours in?
That is... a very complacent mindset.
You are defending a decision that is bad, your not an idiot but you are absolutely wrong about this
Wow, that's gotta be the some of the dumbest shit I have read today. Who gives a damn if someone wants to cheat the system? They paid for the game.
Since I'm not paying for Nintendo's online service, I guess I'm not "properly" saving my progress on any my Switch games. Damn.
Disagree.
Nah, I'm not wrong. Different opinion, however. I'm sorry you disagree, I guess.
No.
It is because the game isn't designed to be played offline. Even Sekiro a game that has pause won't allow you to pause if you are not standing still, which is a remnant of the Souls online design that is rooted in the engine build. They would have to code some new lines to make it work with pause (which isn't really a thing they would work on because most people play online anyway so it is a waste of resources).
The creators of the game care. You don't have to respect that, but they do care how their games get played.
Sorry how making a game that has to work in portable mode always online a good idea? It is ok to be angry at Nintendo but at least give better solutions than what they came up with
