Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’

  Tbf, I hope nintendo keeps going this route and punishing more and more its customers. After all, if you keep supporting a company that hates you so much, you deserve what you get.

    I don’t think Nintendbros will care. They already pay $120 to buy the same game twice.

    Most of their customers don’t even know the Mig flash exists.

  Follow the link in the article to find out what really happened: www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/…/my2iylo/

  I also posted this in another threads a few days ago:

  Nah, the OP of one reddit thread admitted he tried more than just his backups:

  • Dude is a prolific poster in Switch hacking communities and he used an account which he previously used with a hacked Switch 1.

  • He admits trying the migswitch with the Switch 2 and it starting downloading something.

  • They got an online ban, so offline games and such still work.

  You can agree or disagree whether piracy should be legal or whether backup copies are permitted (depends on jurisdiction), but this dude obviously played with fire and got burnt.

  TL;DR: don’t be stupid and get banned for breaking ToS (whether you agree with it or not)

    Sadly you will get downvoted because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

      Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the “you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen” judgment, it’s pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.

      I agree with your sentiment, at least, I think Lemmy unfortunately is too eager to namecall anyone who does not share the general popular opinions of the site, which is a shame because I often saw reasonable, civil takes that disagree with the popular opinion written out, and then a reasonable, civil reply to that disagreement… almost. The author just has to toss on some insult at the end. Feels bad to see. I clicked this post because I was genuinely interested in the news but I do have to avoid any kind of news around any big gaming corporation because I’m rather sick of nastiness in the comments, especially when backspacing on just one word per post would render the whole thing a rational discussion.

      I say this as a member of the anti-corporate Lemmy hivemind, by the way.

      Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
      Nintendo
      Windows
      Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
      A can of beans
      Police
      Man vs bear hypothetical CalyxOS
      Etc.

      They didn’t even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary just in case. What’s wrong with you?

      Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do

  Why is the title worded that way, he literally was pirating. It isn't 'Suspicions' to use a MIG cartridge.

  • raltoid@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because in the US and several other countries you can legally back up a cartridge that you have bought. Meaning it’s not piracy.
