        You don't say, attempting to pirate games with the MIG cartridge while you're online is suicide.

        The good news is that they're only banning consoles from playing online, not bricking them like many said they would.

            As someone who has a Switch v1 that’s banned to the point where it can no longer receive updates, you really have to try. I extracted a certificate from my Switch to authenticate downloads from Nintendo CDN when it was still possible. I guess that’s fair because unlike with Valve, Sony or Microsoft my account is perfectly usable, online play included, on all other devices other than this console.

                This hasn’t been possible for years now unfortunately. I mean, you can extract all the certs you want with Lockpick but they won’t get you anywhere. It’s been like 7 years since then so I don’t recall the name of the tool that was used for downloading stuff. Could have been this.

                Back in Wii U / 3DS days Nintendo didn’t protect their CDNs at all, no authentication. It was quite funny on 3DS because if you bought something on eShop it was stored as a small file on your end so you could just copy those „ticket” files and then go to eShop and have an experience like a paying customer.

                When Nintendo finally realised they blocked comms from non-Nintendo devices but you could still extract a cert and use it to authenticate. Most people used shared ones because it was assumed they’d be burned sooner or later. When those shared certs became harder to get I tried using my own assuming they get burned because so many people used them. I was wrong and burned mine too very quickly.

                    Everyone knows you're not supposed to go online with that stuff.
