- Nintendo Switch 2 users report Console Online Bans because of the use of the MIG Flash tool
- With the tool, players can make a backup of legally purchased games
- It evokes the issue of console and game ownership in the midst of the shift of the industry of physical game copies
The structure of the Nintendo Switch 2The launch was dressed in controversy, because of the price of the Handheld Console and his $ 80 First-party games and it has now gone a step further in the aftermath of his arrival.
As marked by Tom’s hardwareNintendo Switch 2 users report cases of online ban on console because of the use of the MIG Flash, a tool that is used to enable players to make a backup of legally purchased games, essential for keeping multiple game copies on a single switch cartridge.
Before the launch, Nintendo was essentially presented via the user agreement, the ‘brick’ switch 2 devices that are modified can. The agreement warns users: “Nintendo can make the Nintendo account services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable whole or partial”. Based on user reports, “partially” appears to be the case, because access to all online services for forbidden users is no longer accessible.
This means multiplayer and access to the este To buy digital games (both basic principles for using a switch 2) have disappeared, making the console an offline brick. It is a very similar measure if Sony Exercising account bans to players caught jailbreaking of modding PlayStation Systems – The only difference with the Switch 2 is that users state that they do not use illegal ROMs, but rather legal dumps of purchased games.
This further contributes to the controversy of gamers who completely lose ownership of games; Physical copies of games are slowly fading away and players can take away their games at any time, even if piracy is not involved, as Nintendo has just demonstrated.
Analysis: Do you really have your Nintendo Switch 2 at the moment?
While I sony and Microsoft About this with their PlayStation and Xbox consoles, respectively, the Nintendo Switch 2 case is absurd for me.
Piracy is real and I am aware that Nintendo is trying to stamp it out of his switch system, but when measures also influence those who use legal gameback -ups, the question raises: you too Real Do you own Switch 2 Handheld Console?
The simple answer is no, because if you have bought hardware for $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 / AU $ 699.99 or a price that is anything, and you can no longer gain access to online services or be limited (especially if you have not done anything illegal), then you have no complete property.
Are almost the equivalent of buying a gaming pc and using an Asus or MSI Motherboard, and having the brick because the seller did not like what you did with the system. Yes, I know you can have steam EpicOr Battle.net prohibited, but the opportunities that it happens are slim and you can easily create a new account.
With Switch 2, the BAN message states: “The use of online services on this console is currently limited by Nintendo”, which effectively means that even if you make a new account, you still cannot use online services on the same device. This not only affects owners, but it also ruined the value of resale. It contributes to the collection of Nintendo’s anti-consumerism, and I expect it will continue for a long time.
