Account sharing reason aside, it prevents ppl from saving money from buying the game used. No trading and no chatting is stupid. It's an mmo. Wtf. Requiring temtem plus instantly devalues the game $20 or whatever the cost is for that garbage if you planned to sell the game later. The temtem company could've just limited or stopped account sharing or something. Instead of removing features that are part of the exp. So dumb. It literally means buy new or not at all.

No, in fact we couldn't. Account sharing are platform-specific and none of the platform holders would remove the feature for us alone. We tried to explore that possibility and it wasn't doable.

We aren't removing any feature with it because if you purchase the game you get Temtem+ by default, included, in any platform, physical or digital version. Only people who had not previously purchased the game need to purchase Temtem+, and even then, it's cheaper than buying another copy of the game.

How exactly does temtem work if you buy the game as a second hand physical copy? Surely the temtem+ that comes with the original purchase only works once, meaning the person who got it second hand then needs to go and buy temtem plus to get the rest of the games features

Correct. Temtem, as an MMO where your account is associated with your console profile, doesn't lend itself to second hand buying and selling. It would only be resellable as a campaign-only game, so it's something we heavily discourage for both sides. It's an MMO, I personally wouldn't try to buy it second hand.
