Linking Account to Nintendo Switch Version?

[Herbert]

Like do I have to buy all the tables on my Switch again? Would love to play some Pinball on the go but I would love to play the tables I already payed for on Steam. Any way to link them?

This would be pretty cool, unfortunately, store restrictions prevent us from doing so. :(

Then I sadly won't be playing your game on my Switch, bummer. I dont know if its really not possible at all or if you are gambling on people maybe buying all the tables again... I dont think that will happen. I would have however completed my collection if possible because playing on the go would motivate me to go all in.

But reading "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" made me realise that devs arent always evil, so I'm just longshotting over here like a madman :) Nonetheless, always happy to see more games in the eShop.

Just playing about with pinball fx on the switch now and it’s is just lazy from the devs (sorry to say this but it’s true). If the Witcher can link save data then so can you guys. And the annoying part is you don’t have to link the separate stores, you just have to have separate PB FX accounts that you log into from whatever platform.
I don’t don’t an objection to paying something to get your tables on the different platforms as I get that you have put the work in to transfer the game across. But at the same time, maybe a 50% discount for those buying again on another platform would be nice

Linking save data has nothing to do with the OP question. You still must buy BOTH versions.

For the OP, maybe GeForce Now app and an Android tablet/phone might give you some of the portability you are looking for.

it's not true and it's not fair to Zen.

Steam and Nintendo must host the content. This includes running servers and dedicated storage space for the games and paying for the bandwidth to deliver the data when you want to download your games. The running cost for providing this service is why Steam + Nintendo take a cut of the sale price for the license.

What you're asking is to be able to buy the game on one platform and somehow convince the other platform to cover the costs of hosting the content even though they don't get a cut.

You could make an argument for a reduced fee on the second system which acknowledges that you've bought a license from Zen for the content but it is reasonable to pay the host for managing the shop: but its not "lazy" on Zen's part if it's not possible to negotiate those terms with all the providers.

But it would be good to keep the Hi-Scores between platforms even if you have to buy the tables several times.
