Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use

Yeah that’s illegal. It’s the customers hardware once they buy it. Still gonna hack it like every Nintendo console before.
Depends how it is done
Full console brick? You have an argument.
Disable of all online functionality? Perfectly valid and no different than banning someone from a store.
And the latter effectively provides the former if you can’t download any updates, connect to any online servers, or even download your game from a “game key card” or whatever the hell they are calling those.
The latter is also how Microsoft and Sony handle it.
You go online with a modded console? Console ID gets banned and you can’t ever access online services of any kind with that console.
The switch already results in online ban if you play an online game with a hacked console, which they need to do to protect against cheaters.

Why are people upvoting your obviously incorrect statement? Do we literally just not care about truth anymore?
