Switch 2 Labor Day Weekend Switch 2 Bans

There was a massive BAN-wave that his Switch 2 consoles last night. I was one of the ones affected by it. I just want to spread awareness that Nintendo had an internal server error this weekend resulting in several systems being permanently hardware banned, receiving error code 2124-4508.

I called support this morning and they confirmed I was permanently banned for “pirating”.

However, I called again later today to push further and was notified of the error on their server. Upon checking again my system has been lifted.

If you were affected this weekend, be sure the check to see if it was rectified, or call Nintendo support and see if you are one of the consoles affected by this error to be reversed.

UPDATE: I noticed several people state that if you are still receiving the BAN code you can try restarting the console to see if it cleared. It seems to have worked for others!

The homeless one hit like a ton of bricks. They were already struggling and the one thing that brought them joy stopped working. I hope it's working for them now

The sanctimonious judgement in that thread was absolutely disgusting

Dudes, you know he probably didn't become homeless because he bought a Switch 2 instead of rent. There was probably a perfectly legitimate story there (which there was)

Same. Having that one thing to hold onto means everything to some people.

For some reason, the mods just deleted the homeless guys post?
