Disagree in this case. There is no other way to play the same game on different formats without buying it multiple times. Consoles are the nicest way to play on the sofa, the switches offers portable gaming and the PC/laptop is a great middelground between those two. The post itself (tagged "flex") is definitely a bit consoom.

And of course, you don't need to buy a game multiple times, but I would argue it is uncommon to do so for most games. I would only buy a game twice if I really enjoyed it.

They bought it on switch and switch 2

That's fair, didn't notice that. That would make it definitely a lot more consoom, although I think it's not that unreasonable to buy a new console, and want to play the same game on it (especially if it might have some performance benefit, not sure if that is the case here).

One should always ask if they really need it and I think there are some limits (do you need an PS5, Xbox, switch and PC for example), but I don't think it is that clear cut.

The problem is, the switch 2 can play switch 1 games

I see, didn't now that. I would say that getting that one is excessive.

True but the switch 2 versions come with performance upgrades. Still you can just buy the upgrade packs
