    You can't own software, just license it. Including the software used to get online on the Switch 2.

    Anyone tech savvy enough to buy a Mig card already knows this. And buying a Switch 2 with the intent to circumvent the license is always going to be risky. It was a $500 gamble they were willing to take.

        > "However, a factory reset essentially bricked their Switch 2, as it no longer allowed signing into any Nintendo Account. "

        "you will own nothing and be happy"

        the amount of people who defend Nintendo on this kind of stuff is surprising

        i have become increasingly disdainful of the consumer mindset
