If someone with a version 1 switch were to have paid for this software there's also a free custom firmware they could use instead if sxos never gets updated again.

Nintendo are fighting a losing battle here. If these guys don't do it someone else will.
They really seem extremely hell bent on destroying piracy but you just cant. And it also doesn't have enough of an impact on their sales to be worth the money they're likely spending investigating this the last few years.
Also is what Team executor doing even illegal? I've heard they overcharge their products but it's supposed to be so easy to hack the Switch anyone could do it with minimal equipment.
Make less exportable hardware and release your old school games in a legal way to the public. It's not hard.

Switch scene is imploding at the moment anyway, all Nintendo has to do is stand back and watch the fireworks.
They were overcharging on some products, but what the hell is that wording? Not to mention they have been around for nearly 20 years, completely out in the open. How were they a *criminal enterprise*?
WTF?
I really wonder how they are going to make these charges stick unless they lawyer this case to death. Or did Xecutor make a mistake and included copyrighted code or something?

Switch scene is fine. I don't know where you get your information but team xecuter going down won't kill the scene.

They've had since the first version and had blatantly been proud about it, while openly advertised their "products" as a gateway for piracy aka free games.

Don't be stupid. HBG is all but dead, they just don't know it.
Most people are using JITS or their own private shop these days, HBG is for fucking lamers who pay for access, darling.

Jits is only for games already dumped. Hbg is going to keep dumping games with donations which will then end up on jits. $10 for a google drive with nszs of every game isn't a big deal to me, pal.

I have no idea who Team Xecuter are, but from the name I can only assume they know an awful lot about acne cream and have never seen tits.

It's all free and easily downloadable even before releases, why would you pay for that

Convenience. Download on my phone through the drive without waiting, install with ns-loader for android and awoo installer on switch.
I don't need to put people on ignore. The scene will be fine.

I mean Nintendo doesn't decide the law. They've always disliked emulation and shit but that doesn't make it illegal.

Download though your phone through a seed box and then copy to sd. To each its own I suppose.

General consensus behind the scenes is it's more to do with getting the money and removing SXOS than stopping the dongles.

Well guess my V1 hacked switch will skyrocket in resell value
BTW these guys are not just in the regular hack scene, they developed parts they sell, you solder onto your Switch Lite to be able to run roms because SL and V2 Switch are hardware patched. So I think thats why Nintendo finally got em because they have been selling the solder parts for about 3 months now. Local shops are stocking up so they can get the service done for other people in their hometown etc. Id say they were making a pretty penny from that.

I haven't seen anyone wondering why. They've also went after free rom sites, they can do what they want.I see many wondering "why nintendo why"... i think the "selling" part is the clue kids.

Sorry i rather simplified the post.
If you develop or do this and you get big enough to be on the radar, these companies will go for you. Ifyou charge for this, double the risk. Nintendo is rather known to go after such endeavors from time to time.
No company wants their environment broken. Legal or not, this has been an eternal battle and should be no surprise to anyone on this gaming hobby.

So for that twat who said 'HBG is the scene', well, both HBG and JITS shops were killed this morning by Google.
Laugh that up, lamer.

Hbg closed down their shop themselves, as they announced they would in September. Jits just can't handle the traffic, they weren't "killed by google"
But I'll keep laughing at you not knowing anything because:
Google drive works just fine.

And yet they keep winning. Just because it is whack-a-mole doesn't mean you stop whacking the moles. In this particular case Nintendo has to continually show willing to keep the real businessman from touching it.

I think it's a waste of time and effort. This won't discourage people.
They think it will but it won't. Going after piracy is so 2000s but then again so is Nintendo.

You speak sense, but sense doesn't necessarily profit.
Truth is going after piracy helps the bottom line in third world countries and Nintendo doesn't seem willing to pull what Microsoft did in the early-mid 2000's.
They want original hardware running original software as much as they can get it.
It's an asshole move to Timmy whose family can't afford a Switch or many games, but Nintendo is more aligned with Apple in that regard: they really don't care about you using their product if you don't have considerable disposable income.

You're entitled your opinion. I think I'll lend a bit more weight to that of the experts who work for the brand that has been around for 131 years and profitable for almost all of them.
They're not going after 'piracy' per se. They're going after people making money illegally from Nintendo properties. Which clearly does work as a deterrent or there'd be a much bigger market with many more players built up around it.
The problem for some people when it comes to understanding this is that they seem to believe it is an all or nothing game. Either Nintendo stamps all of it out indefinitely or it is a waste of time. Ridiculous way of looking at it that shows a complete lack of understanding of the business involved.
