nintendo has done a HORRIBLE job at controlling the narrative of the switch 2. i hear random ass people complaining about $90 games or how they can just randomly decide to brick your console for no reason at all. like, IRL randos saying that. online, i still see tons of people complaining about having to pay money for frame rate and resolution enhancements, but the upgrades that do just that and only that are free. then you had people complaining about the price of mario kart world and then nintendo has the direct they say is going to change people's perception of the price, and it shows off like 1 new minor thing. nintendo content creators are carrying HARD and even they miss things pretty often.

@beardalaxy if they don't want to be known for bricking consoles then maybe they shouldn't brick consoles? they took my ability to download the games I already own, that's not too far removed from a literal brick

fuck cucktendo

@matana the misunderstanding is over *what* will get your console bricked. i agree that they shouldn't do it at all, but people are acting like something as simple as a voltage spike is going to brick your console forever. it's probably only going towards the pirates and people who are cheating in online games or using hacks to enter people's game chats and stuff. staying offline when you're doing homebrew stuff or piracy especially has always been recommended.

@beardalaxy "it's probably only going towards the pirates", I didn't do anything and got my console borderline bricked anyway, just like thousands and thousands of people did, and if it happened once, it will happen again, be so for voltage spikes or no reason at all

@beardalaxy I do not consider a corpo being a good little tool in an economic proxy war a legitimate reason to terminate customer service

@beardalaxy @matana Yes even if they use it rarely or not at all, I just do not like that they have the ability. If they ban someone from online, that would be okay. But to purposely destroy our property that we paid for? That should be illegal. Thank you friend.

@bebe @matana it very well might be illegal depending on where you live, but if they're only doing that to pirates then the pirates are doing something illegal too so they don't really have any ground to stand on.

@beardalaxy @bebe they do, because the same way as you can't just go vigilante, you also shouldn't be able to destroy a pirate's property

@matana @bebe so if a bunch of people take nintendo to court saying "they bricked our switch 2s, which is clearly against this law" and then nintendo says "well they pirated our games, which is clearly against this law" how well do you think that would go?

@beardalaxy @matana @bebe I don't know if anybody has noted it yet but this has happened before and the company got away with it, satellite company bricked receivers of people using hacked decyption cards. don't have a reference it was many years ago
@beardalaxy @bebe @matana obv I don't agree with it just noting it happened before. wish I could remember. they did an amazing hack where they did a series of updates with hidden chunks of malicious code that pirates didn't catch, then sent a final update that linked all the unused chunks of the firmware update and ran it and it bricked the receiver

@beardalaxy @bebe give pirates an award, nationalize cucktendo assets

dude eulas lmao, they'll just say by using the product you agreed to let them brick it

@Alex @matana @bebe iirc that is actually illegal in some places, just because it is in the eula doesn't mean it wouldn't be illegal if they did it. however if they're only banning users who are also breaking the law, the people doing that don't really have a leg to stand on unless they really want to take a huge fall to send a message.

@beardalaxy @bebe again, they already did ban a ton of people who did nothing
