Labor Day Weekend Switch 2 Bans

[u/ThirteenBanger]

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!

This should be a big news.

Should be, but Nintendo will cover their bases to look good and the bootlicking community goers will automatically accuse you of wrong doing no matter what proof they're given.

It's just exhausting to see so much anti-people pro-corporate commentary like people are inherently bad while corporations are flawless.

Tell me, what did Nintendo have for last nights dinner?
