Our family has been playing off of one switch where my account purchases the games and my kid uses their account to play them with their save data. We got them a Switch Lite for Christmas and I've been trying to get it set up with their favorite games, except it says they can't play them with their account since their account didn't purchase them. Is this working as intended, or did I make an error somewhere? It seems odd that we can all play on the original Switch, but only I can play on the second Switch (Lite). Please help.
