Hacking Could my switch be banned?

[Luckyclover1234]

I recently pirated a switch game and installed it. I needed to update the game so I connected to the internet and updated it. Is there a possibility that my switch could become banned by updating a pirated game?

Did you update it through eShop? If so then probably, but we don’t know exactly when.

If you updated a pirated game through nintendo services, you will be 100% banned, just wait for it

Most likely will get you banned but only time will tell.

When you open a game, it asks you if you want to update it so that's what I'm talking about

In the case of the Switch, if you have to ask that question, the answer is likely yes.

Are the odds lowered if I'm using Incognito to hide my serial number and putting my internet in 90dns?
Or does this mean it's only a matter of time until I get a notification.

If you have all that setup, the odds are probably low, I think the main reason my switch got banned was over joycon updates or me installing the nes channel when it first came out but chances are I was going to get banned regardless. Anyway your odds are probably low if you’re serial number is hidden and if it actually makes a difference if your using incognito.

well that's good to know. I'm able to access the eshop so I haven't been banned yet. and I always make sure to turn on airplane mode.
