Hacking EU Users: Super Ban - GDPR Template

[antiNT]

Nintendo gives you the update: if you put your cart in a unmodified switch you can still download said updates.

It's a Nintendo Switch game, I have a genuine Nintendo Switch bought from Nintendo, it's an official console, I should be able to play.

Problem is : I can't download the "necessary update" because I'm banned. That's the point.

I would quit replying to certain users, they keep repeating themselves over and over and over. It is not worth anyone's time to answer it.

But that means there is no point at all. You just need an unmodified console and than you can donwload it.

 

[Localhorst86]

But it doesn't state that it's working on a modified switch.
It's intended to work on a unmodified switch, and it does.

I think @biggyd was arguing that the whole front of the box warns you that you need to download extra data to play this game.

It's somewhat questionable if this warning is enough for N/the publishers to get out of this problem legally.

If it is the official unmodified console, why have you been banned?

But then the issue is not the game, it's the switch which is banned and not able to play those games.

Yea, and the point is, there is nothing legally binding Nintendo to give you that update. "Necessary Update" is far from "You own this Update"

What's the definition of "necessary" ?

Which is not normal

If it is the official unmodified console, why have you been banned?

Because I bought it from someone and the seller didn't tell me it was banned...

 

[Shelly88]

So much arguing in this thread, has anyone actually tried this?

No one with an IQ above room temperature would ever think that this would unban your console

It won't but it's still interesting to see their reply.

"required to be done, achieved, or present; needed; essential"
"the basic requirements of life, such as food and warmth"
So they need to be "present" and are needed to function yes? but if you are banned then you cant have it? So you cant supply it for yourself.

 

[c80]

Because I bought it from someone and the seller didn't tell me it was banned...

Oh, that's against the law. Just give the console back and buy another one. If the seller does not give you your money back just go sue him

Nintendo won that cause.

Was you banned before you bought this?

It's only in Italy. This lawsuit was in the European Court. So it overwrites local EU laws if so. Also I see no judgement in it

Isn't the eShop account basically personal information?
I mean, sure you go by an alias there, but if you purchased something, then they are withholding an account with personal information about the purchase, locking you out of it.

 

[MikaDubbz]

Heh, its funny the lengths people will go to in hopes of getting a banned system unbanned. I get it, it sucks, but we all know that hacking is risky and only has gotten riskier as technology has advanced and more and more games and features utilize online in one way or another, it's a gamble we all should absolutely have known was there if we chose to hack our Switchs. I genuinely wish you luck with this, but in all honesty, I'm very certain you're just wasting your time here with any hopes of reversing a ban on the Switch no matter where you live.

 

[snarkyerica]

I mean, just think about it for a couple of seconds before making a thread like this. Can you get someone's identity from their serial number and their certificate alone? No, of course you can't. That's what Nintendo uses to ban you. So if you make a GDPR deletion request, sure they will delete all your data for eShop and stuff like that since that involves payment processing, etc. But they will not remove your serial and certificate from the ban list. That isn't personal identifiable information. It's console-identifiable, since they can track that Switch around, but that isn't protected by GDPR. Only Personal Identifiable Information is, which the serial and cert are not.
