Wispy2891,

Only online ban? Nowadays most physical games are glorified DRM dongles that require a full download from online servers.

Banned from online means when you buy the $80 games all they can do is showing a cute icon on the launcher

And even if the full game is present on the cart, only a handful is ready at launch and not just a buggy alpha without the day one update

Wispy2891,

Idea:

  1. Get a switch 2 from Amazon
  2. Get it banned from Nintendo
  3. Return it to Amazon
  4. Let Nintendo and Amazon deal with the pissed customer that gets it later
Wispy2891,

It gives error only when you try to login, the inspector would need to create an account and login. Possible but they barely do “it turns on, it works, can be resold”, it takes too much time, Amazon many times just disposes perfectly fine stuff just because they don’t want to pay $5 for someone to check it

Wispy2891, (edited )

The problem is that updates are not automatically inserted in the flashcart. All the flashcart does is clone the original one as it was put on sale. Updates are always downloaded by the console and are not stored on the cart.

Let’s make a real world example: you go in a store and buy the cart for “disney dreamlight valley” for $40. You actually don’t know, but inside the cart there’s only a 34,6 MB file that only contains a splashscreen and a popup that says “connect to internet to download the update”. It then connects to Nintendo servers to download the 4.61 GB “update” that is the actual game. If you are blocked from Nintendo servers how can you get the update? Your console itself isn’t hacked, so you can’t just download it from random online sources with a different signature. You can dismiss the popup but then you can only admire your new $40 wallpaper.

This is the “gameplay” of said $40 game if you don’t have the possibility of installing updates:

placeholder game

Wispy2891,

yes exactly, fuck those users who paid $450 for a console and $80 for games, they can learn their lesson and buy a new $450 console

Wispy2891,

it can be both. My hardware, my games and once i pay i should be able to do whatever the fuck i want with them

Wispy2891,

When the machine it’s designed to work exclusively online, tell me how to keep it offline. To enjoy the nice premium wallpapers?

It’s not like the x360 era where online access was completely optional

Wispy2891,

i think you are trolling or you have some issue that limits your comprehension. I’m sorry if it’s the second.

Wispy2891,

The problem is that the people that got banned did not pirate the shit and paid with real money the games.

If the hardware is mine and i paid a valid license for the game, i am then entitled to play that game whatever i would like to play it. I can’t get a $450 paperweight if one day they decided that those 8-in-1 multiplexers for the dock aren’t supported. Or if one day a production lot of cartridges is glitched and they blacklist people at random

If they blacklisted the console, then it’s ok to block online gaming (and I would 100% agree with that), but playing offline games should still be allowed.

I vote with my wallet and i don’t support this shit

Wispy2891,

The worst part is that it’s technically possible to do that using the bd-live 2.0 specification

Wispy2891,

AND complete it 1-2 months before release date to allow manufacturing and shipping.

They complete it 1-2 months AFTER release date now…

Wispy2891,

This is pure speculation, the language in the t&c describes what happens now: the console and/or the account gets banned from online gaming

Wispy2891,

How I can’t play N64 games without a subscription? 🏴‍☠️

Wispy2891,

unless you stumble on a brick, fall down and accidentally install a rp2040 on the switch, then accidentally flash picofly when trying to understand what’s going on

Wispy2891,

In Europe it’s like this:

Want to do a chargeback with American express or similar credit cards: call the toll free number and do it in less than 90 seconds, instantly approved

Want to do a chargeback with a debit card: you need to go to the police station and report the seller for fraud, then find the chargeback form hidden somewhere on the bank website, fill it and send it back together with the police fraud report via FAX (no email) to the bank, which might or might not approve it in 90 days. If it approves that, they will take a 30 euro fee from what you will get
