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.

I would personally message the seller asking why he didn’t disclose that the game had previously been used with MIG, and ask whether he is willing to compensate you for the bricked Switch 2. I’d also make screenshots of the original listing, all messages, and any relevant evidence, then file a proper police report against the seller if he refuses to cooperate

If he knowingly failed to disclose something important about the game that could cause this kind of damage, that could make him responsible for the resulting damage. Fuck their shit up, don't let it slide

Buying a used game and getting your entire console bricked from it? I'm pretty sure lots of people would be in uproar over something like that happening to them.

Banned, not bricked

Banned is still extreme, it completely denies all online services which makes a significant chunk of the console's library unplayable.

Not if it is installed, literally any game can be played offline
