Switch 2 owner banned for playing second-hand Switch 1 games
New concerns have arisen over Nintendo’s strict policies over how you use the Switch 2, although for the moment it does seem that there’s a solution.
According to dmanthey on Reddit, they were able to un-ban themselves after speaking to Nintendo support and showing them the Facebook listings and photos of the cartridges. That means second-hand games are commonplace and while traditional piracy is relatively rare on Nintendo consoles, fake cartridges are still easily found on eBay and other online sources – while the mod cart that Nintendo has already banned is the sort of thing used to download pirated games. If Nintendo starts banning everyone simply for playing a second-hand game then there’s going to be chaos online, but hopefully they realise that before issues like this become common.
