Gold is so old.

Nintendo is discontinuing its My Nintendo Gold Points loyalty scheme, which rewards players for purchasing Switch games, perhaps in preparation for a new rewards program for the Switch 2. New digital purchases will stop earning Gold Points from March 25th, though it will still be possible to claim points from preorders made before that date, or physical purchases of previously released titles.

Platinum Points — earned through promotions and in-game activities — are unaffected.

Update: Fixed the link.
