  Depends how it is done

  Full console brick? You have an argument.

  Disable of all online functionality? Perfectly valid and no different than banning someone from a store.

  And the latter effectively provides the former if you can’t download any updates, connect to any online servers, or even download your game from a “game key card” or whatever the hell they are calling those.

    The switch already results in online ban if you play an online game with a hacked console, which they need to do to protect against cheaters.

    The latter is also how Microsoft and Sony handle it.

    You go online with a modded console? Console ID gets banned and you can’t ever access online services of any kind with that console.

  Why are people upvoting your obviously incorrect statement? Do we literally just not care about truth anymore?
