I have a Nintendo switch and I bought animal crossing new horizons in the eshop. My sister was able to create a second account and lives on my island. (She didn't buy the game in the eshop.)
A friend would like to create an account with her boyfriend on the island, but it says that the game was not bought in the eshop.
Why does it work for me but not for my girlfriend?
Everyone who has the problem:
It was because the account of the person with the game was already registered elsewhere. You just have to change the main console, then it should work.
