This is what no consumer protections on digital products looks like.
Its ok, we are just rolling over and taking it. Why own things when we could pay more to rent?

Because nothing beats consumption in a dying world.

This sounds more like a bug to me, not deliberate manipulation by nintendo. But the fact that it can even happen by accident is very dissapointing

Sucks for legit owners of the game.
I've had it on my pc for months now, and it works fine.-
Have you actually read this clickbaity article?

Working just fine on my Retroid Pocket 5 too

Headline is a bit misleading, you just also need to update Wonder and then you can play offline. Headline makes it sound like this is an always-online requirement.
So this isn't news, basically. Surely this is common in the software industry. Software needing an update when firmware also updates. 🤷♂️
Especially since switch 1 games are emulated on 2, and they're still working on it to get the few incompatible games to run. A firmware update a week ago fixed Crypt of the Necrodancer that was unplayable on 2 until then.
Not very surprising that changes in the emulation software might break other stuff. As long as they fix those quickly, I prefer they keep working toward 100% backward compatibility.
