Follow the link in the article to find out what really happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1lcqw4d/comment/my2iylo/
I also posted this in another threads a few days ago:
Nah, the OP of one reddit thread admitted he tried more than just his backups:
-
Dude is a prolific poster in Switch hacking communities and he used an account which he previously used with a hacked Switch 1
-
He admits trying the migswitch with the Switch 2 and it starting downloading something.
-
They got an online ban, so offline games and such still work.
You can agree or disagree whether piracy should be legal or whether backup copies are permitted (depends on jurisdiction), but this dude obviously played with fire and got burnt.
TL;DR: don’t be stupid and get banned for breaking ToS (whether you agree with it or not)

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do (which is not at all)

Why is the title worded that way, he literally was pirating. It isn't 'Suspicions' to use a MIG cartridge.

I'm pretty sure we like beans here. Unless you're trying not to shit for 3 or more days.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I know Lemmy's objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert! Honestly, I consider myself quite lucky I hit a group where I actually do match the hivemind instead of being different yet again. Except I think Lemmy has a much higher tolerance for political posts, and for personal insults towards people who don't share the hivemind than I do, but hey, you'll probably never hit 100% consensus with any big group), except: I wasn't aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans? What's wrong with canned beans?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the "you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen" judgment, it's pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]They didn't even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary scenario just in case. What's wrong with you?

If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren't insults though

Oh no
It's funny that in lemmy vs reddit threads people always bring up that there is no karma farming, but then you see this nonsense.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves.
This is about observing a fact and recounting it to someone who's misinformed about the situation and even has the audicity to gaslight someone over it

Tbf, I hope nintendo keeps going this route and punishing more and more its customers. After all, if you keep supporting a company that hates you so much, you deserve what you get.
I don’t think Nintendbros will care. They already pay $120 to buy the same game twice.

If you try to go online with a flashcart, you're an idiot and I have no sympathy.

Most of their customers don’t even know the Mig flash exists.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Even if that is legal (it isnt), but it will be circumvention of encryption at worst and recreation of protected algorithms, code and keys in a non-nintendo product at best ( and thats before talking about game cartridge content ).
Last i checked that is still illegal hehe
