so free games basically?Simply put, you could say it's a "downloader" of eshop content using your PC, your switch ID and the content ID.

Yeah you could use it that way if you want it... and get a plausible ban in the futureso free games basically?
that means i can download hyrule warriors, pokken, botw all on my switch for freeYeah you could use it that way if you want it... and get a plausible ban in the future
BTW, I think that even by downloading content that you already own on your switch may cause the same risks, but I'm not 100% sure about this part, maybe someone knows better
10/10 Reply *claps*The quote I highlighted MAYBE could have something to do with it.
Now of course he got banned. It's not like he was perfectly mimicking the system and he still got caught. Whatever testing he was involved into, caught a lot of attention and Nintendo acknowledged it.
Imagine I changed the "Title Name" of a game, for example "Mario Kart 8" to "FUCK YOU NINTENDO JHAHAHA I'M PLAYING YOUR VIDYAGAMEZ", and I get banned days later from using that game online. You wouldn't say that playing roms online gets you banned, that's not exactly what happened. My actions raised a flag.
Downloading something once from CDN like a year ago wouldn't get you banned now.
Yes, Nintendo here, the last thing we'd want is for people to just download all updates from our servers and be able to decrypt and download them on the fly, so let's just passively let people download whatever they want and just ban them for it 9 months later when the damage is already done. Sounds like a great idea!
Funny that the anti-piracy people where the first to get banned.
They have to hide behind not supporting piracy so that they aren't sought after, but we all know better.
@SciresM
Dont switches use eshop for game update downloading? If it is, even we banned, we can still download from cdn apps (you passing the e shop barrier, directly accessing the servers!) (but its only an opinion)
So in theory: If I buy a new switch, take its licence (key, whatever), use it to download games via CDN, and after that send the console back to the store and get my money back.
Now if I would use for example TX SX to run those games on my OTHER switch .. am I safe ? (Not playing online)
WOW your an evil genius!So in theory: If I buy a new switch, take its licence (key, whatever), use it to download games via CDN, and after that send the console back to the store and get my money back.

Are you sickened by the action or by the fact that Nintendo's ineptitude allowed it? Don't hate the player, hate the game.That would be entirely evil of you, since you would 100% ban the next owner by continuing to use the certificate of the returned Switch. It would be possible, but seriously sickening to me if you or anyone else ended up doing that.
Other than Nintendo's ineptitude, or perhaps negligence, in allowing their device to be blown wide open is there much ineptitude on the part of Nintendo here? I can't think of an obvious fix for this issue -- you have to take returns and if the other machine is hacked enough to run the data the returned machine got (and said returned machine was hacked well enough to get it in plaintext if that is a thing here) then it is going to happen.Are you sickened by the action or by the fact that Nintendo's ineptitude allowed it?

First hacking related bans, much less ones issued before hacks are truly widespread*, would seem to fall under the banner of newsworthy.Hacker: Downloads games through CDN, has a modded console and goes online
Nintendo: Bans said console
Hacker: Wonders why he gets banned
Really? Is this that newsworthy?
