This, as well as vilifying emulation (despite admitting that legal emulation exists), patenting basic game mechanics, and cracking down on a charity, have shown me that Nintendo is just pure evil.
They go after emulation because all the times they tried to go after debugging tools used to dump roms and copy games, they lost. Even if they win their arguments against emulation, it wouldn’t stop the process of copying the game just the part where you could play it. And then it would also bite them in the ass because they themselves use emulation to continue to sell you shit from the 80’s.

What.
You buy a new switch, log into your account, and download them. Or put your physical games into the new Switch.
You’re describing every console ever, but blaming Nintendo specifically. Why?

because they’d rather blame a company they never liked anyway than admit the problem is systemic

Isn’t this referring to the progress you have made in a specific video game?

Im going to ignore you sounding like a Nintendo rep and say that I think the poster assumes your account is locked to the console itself, which after I just checked (because that would be crazy if that was the case) is not the case but that console is considered a ‘primary console’ and that designation would have to be transferred to a different one in the event your current one breaks. I don’t think the OP knows this (and as I don’t own one myself, i didn’t initially either)
