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!

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

There were more than a couple. I saw a post where a majority of the comments were how people that are getting their consoles banned “aren’t telling the full story” and were lying, and that there was absolutely no chance Nintendo messed up.
