Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’

  Well technically, it was both, at least from their perspective. And as soon as they were contacted, the situation was resolved.

  I’m not saying I wouldn’t be pissed if this happened to me, and I’m not saying I like the whole “we block your internet access” thing. But what I’m saying is that this is normal practice for decades (!!!) now for all console manufacturers, and that the only reason why this is a “news article” now is because “Nintendo = bad” clicks so damn well.

    Banning people who play games they bought second hand most definitely is not an industry practice for decades for all console manufacturers.

    I can’t think of a single console that normalized banning people for buying used games…except for switch 2. Wanna give some examples?
