He just beat Hollow Knight for the first time and was really upset because he didn't 100% it before beating the Hollow Knight lol.

Unfortunately its the way of the household. Four saves for four people. He had to delete if he wanted to start anew.

Ok well this is a bad rule that probably leads to more completionist urges if he's boxed in to one file. Why not give up one of yours or use another profile (assuming you're sharing a Switch)? I guess I don't understand the point of the rule in the first place.

Also you can just keep playing after the final boss, I don't get it. There's achievements that require additional runs but as a parent it's your duty to stop him before the completionism progresses that far.

The rule is because Hollow Knight only has four save slots so that means everyone in the house gets a save slot.

Games with more slots or unlimited slots the rule doesn't apply.

He didn't know you could keep playing after beating it. He just got upset and started a new game.

I've offered to make him an account but because it won't have PS+ he won't have access to online in the majority of games he plays so he says it isn't worth it for just offline games.

Uh I'm pretty sure that you only need one PS+ membership per console for all profiles to use online multiplayer. Though I'm not totally sure, that's how Elden Ring was.

Then I recommend allowing SHINE to train him when he's of age.

I'm not stressing over it, I think my daughter might be more like me though. Play a game until you've almost beaten it and get bored and move on. Leaving like 90% of the games you've played unbeaten.

Some games just don't require PS+ for online access. Like Apex Legends can be played without PS+, Elden Ring sounds like it might be one too.

Free-to-play games, like Apex Legends, don't require PS+ for online play. Elden Ring isn't a free-to-play game, so it would require PS+.

Nope, you can't see online messages either without PS+. You play the game in offline mode and that means no messages or bloodstains.

Oh yea, and its not like the rule is arbitrary(I did it that way when I was a kid, now so will you!) He has options to circumvent it, he just chooses not to because he doesn't really think it is worth it.
