Why this petition matters

Started by Casen Rogers

  On the Nintendo Switch, you can add Parental Controls for the whole system. But one thing that cannot be done, is having time limits for each profile. I have had experience having time limits for each profile on the PS4, which is excellent.

  But when my family gets on the switch, I have to add an hour, and then when that child is done, I add another hour, and so forth. It's just such a hassle.

  But the most frustrating thing is that the ad for the Switch Parental Controls specifically states, "Just keep in mind, your parental control settings apply to the system, not individual players." It says that they do not, and most likely will not change that.

  I'm sure there are probably so many other parents who have the same frustration I have. My family does not have all the money in the world and can't afford multiple systems. But if we had multiple systems, this option would be very helpful.

  I am aware that Nintendo has this in place to encourage family playtime. It's not that hard to just have this as an option. Nintendo can do this, it's not rocket science.
