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.

            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

            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.
