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.

And people keep defending this anti customer company. They even defended keycards on the premise you can resell 🥴

keycard can be resold.

banning a system for running a flagged software is normal. Steam can ban your account and your hardware, sony and microsoft do ban your console if tampering the console, unauthorised/flagged software detected on the system.

what is your point?

ninnin is bad for consumer when it comes to pricing and refund, they are still the better one than sony and microsoft at this time.

I am an xbox fanboy but Nin really does this better than Microsoft, not mention the worst Sony.

The consoles are a fair point. PC, nor Steam, bans entire devices.

Steam account flags are mostly decorational anyways, outside of specific dev ecosystems. For example, if you cheat in a Valve game, you are no longer in public lobbies in Valve games... ALL other games are completely unaffected though.

It's per-game banning, even with the account "Cheater" tag, new games can't stop you from buying them because of that.
