Yes, completely agree. My current only option is to associate a player
with an account and make it easily changeable (unless I'm missing
something), that seems completely incompatible with the concept that
the controller is given a menu and should be able to switch player and
the menu still be applicable. As you say, there needs to be a "user"
concept to make that possible for the controller to understand the
account context of that menu.
Yet, Spotty users seem happy, so I'd be interested to hear users
experience of that ?
