Re: Why Does Nintendo Use Friend Codes Instead Of Screen Names? Leaked Documents Reveal All

As crazy as it sounds, the friend code system has grown on me a bit and I don't mind it.

It is indeed dumb voice chat or any proper messaging system is lacking on the switch, but the idea of friend codes allowing "peace of mind" when playing is something over the past year I have appreciated more lately. I know that is what "Appear offline" is for, but there are times I really don't want to be bothered when playing online. I get messages from friends on PSN all the time who are like "Omg why you playing that?? We should play this..You wanna join my party chat to talk" and sometimes I just wanna play my games in peace without having to worry about a friend virtually breathing down my back about wanting to chat on party chat or sending invites to a game I don't wanna play.
