You don’t know what form will be taken when this happens. They haven’t used it yet. I could say in a EULA that I have the right to destroy earth, doesn’t make it true.

Yes. They can now brick your physical device. It is something they can now do. Brick the entire thing. That was the point of this post, and you said “no it’s just online service stuff.” My whole point was saying that’s not true. They can now brick your Nintendo Switch if you mod it. It’s not a thing the CAN do. I’m glad we finally agree.

No, Bricking would be rendering the firmware useless. It has a definition and this is not it.

What part of wholey disable the device isn’t clicking. They can wipe the firmware. Also bricking is used in a lot of ways, but even this they can do.
This isn’t banning from online service… Did you even read what I quoted about hardware?

No company in the history of electronics has ever purposely remotely bricked a device, get fucking real.
