Polygon Wrote:Nintendo has made its own Discord-like chat app for the Switch 2, and it's going to charge you for it. Once the free period is over on March 31, 2026, GameChat, and the C button that activates it, will require a Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) membership.
So what happens if you aren't a subscriber and press the C button? Not much, vice president of player and product experience Bill Trinen told Polygon in a recent interview.
I feel like Nintendo are doing their best to put me off buying this. Realistically it won't affect me as I'll have NSO but I really don't like this monetisation of every little thing.
