Well there's another reason I'm going to wait to emulate the switch 2.
I'm sure this totally wont backfire and screw over legitimate owners due to some totally unforeseen glitch or idiocy on nintendos part.
FTR: this thumbnail is clickbait and there is no such error screen like this à
This title has bad accessibility.
This is pure speculation, the language in the t&c describes what happens now: the console and/or the account gets banned from online gaming
I’d love to see Nintendo try this in Norway! Completely and wholly illegal consumer practice. It’s incredibly hostile and would only work in countries where corporations have stronger rights than humans.
If it wasn't for "piracy" (volunteers lovingly preserving and modding their games and consoles and sharing their work for free) most people would've left and forgotten about Nintendo years ago. Their products would have been remembered just like those old, abandoned songs you never hear on any streaming service anymore, then sometimes think about and never bother to find because "it's so X0's" anyway. Most of these companies owe modders and "pirates" the fact that they're so happily earning so much in this golden era of remasters and remakes.
If Nintendo has the power to brick your console, then do you truly own it?
This sort of shit needs to be illegal.
It is illegal in the EU. This was announced specifically for the US
The EU is the true land of the free.

Why are they being game nazis?
Because Japan's copyright law is fascist as fuck. Fair use doesn't even exist there.
Fair use is a defense in US copyright cases, it's a precedent not an allowance or law
Well I won’t buy one now.
