XCOM 2, BioShock Infinite. These are two of my favourite things. These two things recently released onto the Switch, and I feel compelled to buy them again. I know I shouldn't - I've got the PC versions of both these titles, and they'll run much faster, much cleaner, and with better graphics and controls on the PC.
Yet, with these titles, much like the recent re-release of Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Knights, Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale on the Switch, I feel compelled to purchase these games again, because the portability and convenience of having these Switch titles available to me no matter where I am in the world is an appealing prospect.
A stupid, unjustified one, at that - when, with a little effort, and an Internet connection, you can stream a game that's installed on your home computer anywhere - provided you've got a reliable data connection at both ends, and a controller that works with an Android powered device.
That certainly isn't as convenient though. I would love for more video game publishers to implement a different approach to releasing games - and something that, if the price was right, some people would be willing to pay for.
Release a game once, and then allow it to be played on any platform. Sure, each publisher might have to have an "app store" on each platform that you sign into with your "publisher id", but it would work. With so many publishers releasing their own front-ends for PC releases of the game, this would at least ensure the experience was consistent for everyone.
Perhaps you could pay more for a "play it on any platform" licence. Having said that, I always prefer to have physical copies of games, because once the network is down, good luck reconnecting to verify your identity, or redownload an ancient game from a server that's been shut down.
I think I'm going to wait until I get XCOM 2 and BioShock Collection in some sort of physical (and discounted) edition on the Switch, because I've always been in love with both these games. I would've liked to have seen Enemy Within released on the Switch, but a man can dream...
