    And Nintendo JP says that “Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 cannot be remotely located, their users remotely identified nor disabled over the Internet” (tweet in Japanese warning people against accidentally losing or getting their consoles stolen over summer vacation)

    But I bet it is more like “Nintendo won’t disable them remotely even if people report ones stolen to them with serial numbers and police reports”, but they’ll happily do so if they caught you using the console in an unapproved manner in their eyes.

    Just don’t buy one. Problem solved. If you get yours bricked it’s your fault for being a sucker and letting companies run all over you. You can survive without having a Switch 2.

      Wrong, advocate for pro-consumer laws. Today it’s a switch, tomorrow its a thing you use. And on that post there will be another snide comment on how idiot customers didn’t read the 50 page EULA.

        Why not doing both? Supporting more independent platforms and advocating for pro-consumer laws
