I have a MIG Switch and a few pirated games, though I’m afraid it will ban my account, including games I’ve bought.

I don’t use Switch anymore due to philosophical reasons, so it’s probably not a huge deal, but it would probably still piss me off, because I spent some money there.

Do you think it could be mitigated by resetting the switch to the factory settings and never logging in?

      I don’t like the way Nintendo destroys people’s lives just because they “lost” a few dollars.

        I mean, who doesn’t? But nah, I just don’t want to pay a company that does as much horrible stuff as Nintendo does. That pretty much means I own an expensive paperweight which I’m not a huge fan of as well. So I decided it’s gonna be a pirating only console.

          I never said there was anything wrong with that, I have pirated multiple terabytes of various stuff including Nintendo games (though I play them on my Deck).

          I was just explaining what your “philosophical” (🙄) reasons were.

          Also you could just sell the switch if you don’t like Nintendo. Don’t pretend that you are forced to pirate or something.

            I pay for my content on basically every other platform. I have a hacked pirate switch because Nintendo’s business practices are particularly obnoxious.

            Is it “justified”? Fuck if I care. But they’re the only games I don’t legally acquire, and it’s because they’re jackasses.

              Personally I don’t give a shit about justifying my piracy. There are a lot of people in this sub that can’t do anything else.

            Stop projecting, maybe? No, I’m not forced. But I want to, because I refuse to pay any more money to such a shitty company. I paid for the product, now I’m gonna use it the way I want to.

            Price is not my reason for pirating. Seriously, people are different from you, stop assuming that everyone has the same motivation as you do.

              Sure dude.

              I paid for the product, now I’m gonna use it the way I want to.

              Well obviously you are too scared to do that, lol.

              P.S. If you dislike Nintendo don’t buy their products in the future and just pirate on a PC
