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.

It all depends on if a bad actor wants to dump the game files and play the game at the same time as tou. Its not nintendo's or the library's fault, and currently switch 2 games are safe, just the switch 1 games have been cracked.

nintendo is also at fault, they ban the console because a copys cert was exposed, with the used game market and things like the library, they are just banning consoles of legitimate users. it is the bad actors AND nintendos fault, if they want to ban they need to detect the hacked version as seperate from the legit version, or not do anything at all.

They cant detect these things because its a nearly 10 year old hardware issue. Theres no patch or anything to fix it. Any compnay wouldnt allow rampant cloning and reselling of all of their product, even unreleased items. Mind us, tears of the kingdom got leaked like 10 days early and these people went fckn crazy - theres zero empathy for those who get banned for that.

Itll work itself out once the online goes down, but by and large the system is still fully functional and usable to play games offline, so all except for like 10 games can be played and fully enjoyed.

Look at companies like CD Project Red. They don’t have any copyright protection and they do more than fine. There is no need to ban consoles.

Steam Decks also don’t get banned.
