Edit : how the heck do you post a reddit post with the preview showing ?

Most of the time this happens it eventually comes out that the poster did in fact do some shady shit. Happens here as well.

Zath, but how ? The S2 has been barely out and from what I know, there's no hacks/mods yet ...

I dunno, mine has broken though too

How did you fix it?

Fixed your embed and copied over to a separate thread.

That was fast.

Reddit embedding seems to work for me. On desktop at least.

 

[Gripsx]

Yeaa riight, I used my phone hotspot multiple times no issue

edit: ah but of course

 

[Mister Wolf]

They are desperate to hack and emulate the Switch 2. Being able to do so quickly with the original Switch spoiled them. Nintendo/Nvidia isn't playing around with you guys anymore.

Yeah, I'd say 99% of the time.

 

[Chukhopops]

If it's really an account flag when using a modified Switch 1 like the Reddit OP seems to admit, quite a few people are going to be unpleasantly surprised in the coming months.

You do know this isn't unique to the Switch 2 right?

they got burned bad w/ switch 1, esp w/ people running emus just for better resolution/performance.

I figured they'd be making some investment in hardening the OS/hardware. it's always inevitable but I'm guessing we'll be a few years out from switch2 emus being something the masses can use

I predict Nintendo swiftly going after Switch 2 emulation startups this time around. Especially those with Patreon accounts.

OK guys, case closed (apparently) - that was fast !
Still, seems weird to have your new console banned for previous transgressions on a previous model/hardware, unless it's a gamertag based one ?

PS : Thanks EviLore for the embed (still don't know how to do it dammit !)

 

[MiguelItUp]

Nintendo: "Hey don't do that thing"
*Hacker does thing*
Hacker: "What happened?!"

I love situations like this when people try to say they did nothing wrong but then someone immediately digs up evidence of them in the wrong, lol.

So the link you originally pasted is from the new reddit, which doesn't support embedding. However, you can do it from desktop using the old Reddit. In this case, the URL would look like this:

Thanks man, it was done via the app so...
Guess I'll have to link it from a web browser next time !

I will send you all my posts to do

It's not yours.

Stop playing with my toy

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Good start hardware banning folks on all platforms that deserve it

 

[Astray]

I know it has to do with hacks somehow, but I wonder what he specifically did to catch that ban lol.

 

[DragonNCM]

Pirate life is hard......time to land another 450$

 

[Sgt.Asher]

It's like when a bunch of cheaters got banned from tf2 and csgo and where like "my little brother did it, not I"

He'll sell it to some poor kid on FB Marketplace now and block him as soon as he can get away with the money.

That's the shitty thing. Consoles shouldn't be banned vs accounts. A account ban could be appropriate while a console ban would only make sense if hardware was modded which in this case is very unlikely.

Doing a console ban basically screws over used hardware buyers and it's pretty damn anti-consumer. And heck, if they are console banning because user had an account flag with Switch 1, that's not great unless there is S2 hardware hack already.

 

[Gripsx]

 

[Londo]

Ah, I thought they banned him simply because he visited hacking boards... Instead he used his (already) banned Switch account on the NS2

That's not Nintendo's problem. Whoever buy used aren't giving Nintendo money, so why should Nintendo be held accountable for a hacked console? Buyer of used console should do proper check to make sure the console is free from bans.

And that's going to happen with Switch 2, just as soon as the emulators become available.

Because Nintendo should behave with at least a modicum of good will vs "Fuck you I got mine"? While currently they are "on top of the world" so to speak, that will not always continue and having a loyal customer base that they have a good relationship with helps.

And this is especially so considering ever increasing pricing on both hardware and software.

It's Nintendo. They aren't exactly the most consumer-friendly company.

Expect Nintendo to behave while attempt to hack the console for cheating/piracy? Good luck guilt tripping Nintendo for that silly excuse and I highly doubt loyal Nintendo fanbase will care about the plight of a small minority of hackers.

Nintendo hackers are why they brick consoles. Every time you setup some sorta rom arcade at home for funsies. It's pretty obvious to see how we got to where we are.

Copying and pasting the link works if you're on desktop whether it's old/new reddit. If you're doing it on mobile, it doesn't work. Just shows the URL address.

Nintendo are huge micromanagers & this was warned about before release.
