Is this to me counteract the Migswitch specifically?
Seems like a load of crap either way.
That and probably since V1 switches are softmoddable forever.
'Bricking' seems to be hyperbole from the author though, I'd wager they're doing the same online bans as Switch1. However as Game Key carts are going to be a big thing now- with no eShop access those Game Key carts might not work if you don't have the game downloaded already. (or possibly might not work at all)
That would render the device unusable if you only had Game Key Carts and/or digital purchases, you'd not really be able to use the console at all.
