This is absolutely disgusting...hackers have breached Sony and Microsoft online before, if Nintendo can brick your system best believe a hacker can too imagine the potential disaster brewing
Well, I'm sure you'd have a case if you happened to own a Switch 2 and they bricked your system just because you said Nintendo's a cacapoopoo.
And that "case" is actually arbitration anyways through Nintendo friendly 3rd party. At least in US, even if Nintendo bricked thousands of consoles, it wouldn't go into proper legal channels.A "case" that will cost far more than the price of a new Switch.
Until it happens, it's just sitting around sniffing your own farts.A "case" that will cost far more than the price of a new Switch.

Do whatever you want.Leave the billion dollar corporation alone, in other words
Yeah, it's a wide-ranging term to legally cover circumstances that are currently unforseeable.I think the title's wording is fueling extra outrage.
Nintendo's verbiage is "render inoperable". But in this very thread, people conflate bricks with bans. "This happened to me already. MS banned my Xbox". Is that a brick now? What is "render inoperable", exactly? In modding, we usually refer to bricking as your system is dead and cannot be serviced, modded, or saved in any way beyond that point. I'm extremely skeptical that Nintendo is planning death beams to do this. They already do console/account bans, and inadvertently brick your system because you tried applying a real update to a CFW. So I wouldn't grab pitchforks quite yet.

My guess would be that 'render inoperable' covers things like broad changes to the legal definition of 'inoperable'.so Nintendo is evil and coming to take your first born confirmed pretty much
My guess would be that 'render inoperable' covers things like broad changes to the legal definition of 'inoperable'.
For example, if somebody's account is banned and a future legal action decides that by doing this Nintendo has made his console inoperable, they're covered.
Switch has design flaws (like its reliance on large games) that led to Nintendo to use SD cards and the sd card slot's going to be tricky for Nintendo to police.I understand the idea of protecting hardware against modding (mainly for piracy reasons), but I always wonder how many people end up having their consoles bricked by mistake. Like for example if the system encounters an issue with the storage expansion and considers it an illegal mod. Or if you buy a faulty / hacked Game Card without any knowledge of that.
No sony does read the elaborate
6. VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AND SIE INC REMEDIES
SIE Inc determines that you have violated this Agreement's terms, SIE Inc may itself or may procure the taking of any action to protect its interests such as disabling access to or use of some or all System Software, disabling use of this PS5 system online or offline
Bring it on Nintendo, ban my bananas and let me sue you to Oblivion Remaster!While the legal framework in the United States allows Nintendo to disable a pirated console completely, in Europe, Nintendo can only prevent access to pirated software.
