Demonize something you don't understand or movements that you can't take part of. It's all the same with people regardless of context. Homebrewers, Pirates, Hackers, Tinkerers, Cheaters, and Thieves, it is all the same to the uninitiated.

 

Well, if a ban wave rolls out, these are the same group of people who will be moaning that their second hand Switch is banned. The same people they want banned won't give a hoot about selling their banned console to some poor sucker.

 

Yup, that is the case.

I love threads about homebrew on ResetEra, I love all the hate agains hackers/modders/pirates that is spread there. Some people over there would probably stab you 20 times in the stomach with a knife given a chance, and would justify it the same way as if they were defending their families. Crazy world we're living in.

 

As I see it, let them continue to speak hate on us, after-all we don't owe them anything, and never will.. they can continue to waste their time on us if they want, but we should instead worry about indulging ourselves, and if we can then provide works of our own to contribute more to the scene's growth, if not for us/yourself then simply out of spite for those against it .

 

I'm not sure why you don't understand why it's not within Nintendo's remit to do this (you even suggested their actions were 'above the law'). The servers are Nintendo's property and it has the right to allow or deny access. They have a right to protect the integrity of their systems and, if they suspect you of hacking then banning only one of your consoles is a half measure. To imagine that this could cause them any kind of legal problem is absurd.

 

What!? Of course they have the right to ban you if they know that you've hacked them in the past. You clearly need to familiarise yourself with what rights you do and don't have, and what rights corporations do and don't have.

Side note: where the fuck is the facepalm emoji?

 

Why don't you point me to where it is codified in either European or American law that a company legally has to grant you access to its online services? The EULA for the Switch does not cover access to online services, so I don't think you have read it otherwise you wouldn't be making stuff up. I advise you to read it to prevent further embarrassment.

Nintendo does not have to grant you any right of access to its services from a Switch console and can ban anyone they like for any reason at any time. Nobody, especially not a court of law, is going to have sympathy for a hacker whose "non-hacked" console was banned.

 

You edited that in afterwards, so I didn't see it, but let's review it shall we?

Other than being a stupid statement, this has nothing to do with online services (specifically the Nintendo Account service) and is only to do with the console. It's basically saying, 'If you breach this agreement, you may not power on and use your device anymore,' and , 'If you do power on your device and we do nothing to stop you, that doesn't mean that this agreement is null and void.'

 

Correct. (WHERE IS THE FUCKING FACEPALM EMOJI!?)

Nintendo have not blocked use of the console, they've blocked access to online services. They're not invoking anything to do with that clause in the EULA.

This is not me riding anyone's dick, it's me calling out bullshit on a forum. People like you are the cause of other people thinking console hackers are childish morons who do it to get free gaems by following step by step instructions on the Internet. You have absolutely no idea what rights you have and your sense of entitlement is showing your (mental) age.

 

Haha, you too little buddy
