Comment on Nintendo warns that it can brick Switch consoles if it detects hacking, piracy

Banning is fine, we’re talking about remote bricking. If I hack my Xbox, I’m fine with not being allowed to use it to join msft’s network, but I am not fine with them identifying my hacked device over the internet and actively sending some sort of backdoor self-destruct instruction to it. To me that’s a violation of the CFAA.

Ah.

Yes.

That… is a little bit more insane.

Welp.

You do realise that long ago MSFT switched from being a desktop software company to cloud and telemetry, right? Win10 and Win11 were free, and Azure isn’t exactly driving them into the ground.

    Ah ok hah, was just confused by the fact that it doesn’t seem relevant at all.
