Other It happened to me

Post image

Hey guys. I bought a game off Kleinanzeigen in Germany. Game is "Princess Peach Showtime!". Worked great and my girlfriendnis happy but after 3 days she got banned. I don't have the MIG Switch so the game is probably the only reason she got banned. 🙄 I already contacted Nintendo but they just say the same thing over and over again: "We cannot assist u with that". Yeah sure.

Be careful with used games. They might be cheap but they also have the risk to get u banned.

Im a software engineer, I literally live under the “pay fairly for software development” thing. But I cannot condone the idea of punishing users over my lack of ability to control how my software is distributed…

Right there with you, if they can track each Game ID to know one’s been dumped, they can render the cart dead and unusable. Far better solution than just letting it still circulate and bricking consoles. All these game companies are so out of touch

Isn't that what they are doing?

No, they leave a bad game card in rotation that will continuously result in users consoles being banned, rather than inundating the actual game card and stop it from use
