Nintendo Switch 2 account bans continue

Yeah that's fucked up. I was thinking when they use these physical copies to make mig copies, somehow Nintendo can see that they were used for that? If so I suppose the people doing that then sell them on eBay to unsuspecting victims.

Hard to say. There was talk about the same game ID being online at the same time on two different switches. But if that were the case then think that would have come up long before now. I really think this is all due to the mig. But that's just my gut.

Yep, that's the issue. In a more customer centric approach, Nintendo wouldn't be banning users with physical copies.
 
In my opinion people shouldn't buy used games from eBay or facebook marketplace, they are just not trust worthy.

I havent bought used games over 10 years but if I did just do in my local EBgames store.
Like 90% of my Switch games are used lol Nintendo is fucking wild with their prices and I'd rather go the used route to save money.

I agree with your point on Ebay though, I only manly buy my used Switch games on Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop etc.

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy used games, I'm just saying not to buy it on eBay or Facebook marketplace, there are people here who might trust this type of stores but for me I have zero trust in them.
 
"Nelson's previous posts, one mentioning that he intended to run "my MIG Flash game dumps" on the Switch 2.



Not because he bought a used game.
Do you have evidence it's not a legit copy? I've bought used games from Ebay before. They're cheaper. Just made sure they had legit case and Nintendo SN.
 
Welcome to not reading the thread, along with not realizing every hardware company has these stipulations in their EULA. If you don't like it you'll have to stop playing video games more or less.

Also Quinn is kind of an idiot if you read his tweets so ... wouldn't surprise me that he's not being entirely truthful about what he did.

No, I read the thread. That's why I specified it doesn't matter the reason. This is not a one time occurrence, others have had their consoles bricked (it isn't 100% until a factory reset). I own a Steam Deck and I don't recall Valve ever bricking anyone's hardware. Valve has it in their user agreements they can revoke access to games if you break the law and commit fraud against them. There's never been a precedent for bricking people's devices just for doing something the company doesn't like. That's just accepting nonsense because you don't know any better. Nintendo is only able to get away with this in countries with inadequate consumer protection laws like the US. They are bullies that could care less about their customers. They only care about your money.

Quit being dramatic and read the thread. He admits to using the MiG device which is against Nintendo EULA. No one had their consoles bricked. It's a banning from their network and it is fairly easily reversible.

"...assumes the "old copy of Bayo 3 on eBay""

Yeah pretty much. I do like this guys content but he goes a long way to make a story. If he said he didn't know, maybe that's true, but maybe not.

Edit. As others have said the used game may be less significant than his Mig switch usage.

Nintendo Switch 2 account bans continue — Content creator with over a million subs issues warning after buying an old copy of Bayo 3 on eBay

A Switch 2 owner has had their console "restricted by Nintendo" after installing a Switch game they bought on the used market. Quinn Nelson, the creator behind popular YouTube channel Snazzy Labs, fell foul to the long arm of Nintendo law, and now assumes the "old copy of Bayo 3 on eBay" they bought must have been dumped/ripped by its previous owner and got flagged by big N's anti-piracy servers.

do not buy used dip shits.
 
This sounds scary.

Imagine buying used games then praying Nintendo doesn't ban you.

Stuff of nightmares.
Or maybe don't believe the lies on social media from mig users that later delete their plans to break the ToA to use the he systems software.

Not sure why the thread title hasn't been updated to include the guys obvious use of mig/pirating hardware.

Why is this MIG thing still working on Switch 2.

Seems like a easy way to piracy. Nintendo should've learnt from Switch 1, but apparently not.

They did learn from it which is why they implement this approach to stop MIG usage. Seems to be working so far.

Banning it right out of box will be pointless because it gives hackers a way to bypass it, so why bother?

If one can use it to play ripped games from elsewhere, its certainly not working.

They shouldn't ban it. Make it unusable. Pirates shouldn't know where to start if they wanna make their copies work.
 
Pirates are not stupid.
Seems to me like they are.

Honestly why even use it on your Switch 2? If you have no use for your Switch 1 anymore then continue to be a poor software stealing pirate there. This is equivalent to a pirate ringing a bell to alert the British Royal Navy telling them to blast him to bits after loading his stolen loot on their newest ship then crying to the press about it for sympathy.

I don't get it. You get banned for using a MIG cart after saying "I hope I don't get banned for using this". Then you publicly announce that Nintendo banned you for...doing something else completely innocent.

What is the point, why not keep it to yourself? Is it some emotional need to "get back" at Nintendo over what they "did to you"? Is this something grown men do?

This is not even a band aid solution, if they wanna stop piracy.

Why is it even possible to rip Switch 2 games already?

Doesn't seem like a particularly secure system.

I'm not sure that Switch 2 games have been dumped. Most of this talk is surrounding playing a Switch 1 game on 2, or detecting the 1 game to access the NS2 edition upgrade.

Dude is bitter as fuck for being a piece of shit and wants to convince the simple minded that Nintendo is the bad guy here, not the idiot breaking the ToA.

Do you also agree with Ubisoft stance on theirs right to remove games from your library?

I want the right to do whatever the hell I want with products I buy it. Do you want less rights? Do you think these companies need this to survive or are they just pushing to see how far they can get away with? Nintendo is not protecting you, they are protecting their fat margins. Keep being lenient and they will devour you as soon as they can.
 
I recently purchased Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Trials of Mana used on Switch from CEX. I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous to try them in case Nintendo decides to ban me. However, I have receipts showing I purchased them legitimately so I assume any ban would be reversed in that case.

Careful, you might accidentally a mig cartridge fallin into the cartridge container by mistake, you should use protection
 
He's saying that you might accidentally drop a flash cart into a switch the same way you might accidentally drop a dick into a vagina by mistake, so you should take precautions.
So he's saying that as long as you're not using migs, you should be safe from bans?

I'm pretty good at reading broken English, but this one failed me. I've got no idea what the fuck you're trying to say.
I forgot a « have », I changed the meaning of the sentence while writing it, didn't read the post again from the beginning.

« careful, a mig cartidge might fall into your Switch 2 while using a used game, bricking your console »
 
yeah, what are the odds?
probably a few times higher. like he bought several copies and paid someone to load and unload each one until he found a problem? Or worse, bought them ripped them got them banned and the game ID flagged then put the original in the switch 2.

ESL's are pretty wild.
 
Small recap to understand
If you buy an used Switch Game online it could happen that what you buy is a pirated cartridge that looks original but when you load it on Switch 2 causes a console Ban?
