20 $ to host kilobytes worth of save game is worth it ?

Really, I feel like people are way too indulgent with Nintendo.

That and the fact that all games are P2P hosted. Nintendo only takes money to allow you to host a game on your console. No other consoles do that as far as I know.

Steam will not ask for money to keep your save files on their cloud and they have been doing that since the inception of the service.

But anyway if people are ok with the value of this service, I guess to each their own. I'm just surprised people manage to find it a valuable service rather than a poor excuse to take a bit more money for services that Nintendo doesn't really pay for in term of hosting.
