  • Any country establishing that this isn't okay would be a big win.

    Other companies do this too but if the Nintendo criticism is what it takes for something to change, I'm all for the change

  • Whoa....and in a twist that no one expected, Brazil comes out of left field to take up the mantle of "Stop Killing Games"!

    • I may have a gripe against Brazil for a lot of shit But damn, the consumer rights part, they actually stand up for the consumers They have slapped Nintendo before for it, dont doubt they will again

  • I don't understand! Who cares if a guy wants to get more fps. Its a game! You figure out how to get more fps! Right? You paid for the thing, its yours, it not broken and you did not pay for renting the toy or renting the game. So basically Nintendo is breaking peoples consoles in the same way a hacker would.

    • They aren't breaking people's consoles, they are banning them from online services. That means you can't use the eshop or play online in multiplayer games. I personally don't like that they are doing this, but I can understand why. If someone can execute unsigned code to get higher fps, they can probably make cheats for games and theoretically destroy the experience for other people online. While the situation does suck, it's not without any reasoning.

      • That means you can't use the eshop

        Which is where the issue is. Banning from online play is justifiable, the issue is the rest.

        Since most games aren't even on the cartridges and are downloaded from the eShop even when you buy the physical copy.

        Does that ban prevent you from getting game updates?

        Does the ban prevent you from using the physical games you've purchased?

        Because that's where the issues are. Nintendo can ban the console from online play all they want, their decision of how the Switch 2 handles the actual games and installs means that it would turn the device effectively into a brick.
