Nintendo may disable the Switch 2 systems used against their rules. Emails went out about changes to account terms before the new console arrives. People who misuse digital products might lose access to games in Europe. American terms say Nintendo can make both accounts and entire devices unusable for rule breakers. Making systems completely stop working seems harsh and might create legal problems everywhere.
The company fights hard against game piracy as it prepares for the Switch 2 release. Last year, it sued Yuzu, a program that lets people play Switch games on computers with better graphics and changes. In October, it shut down another similar program called Ryujinx. Nintendo takes a stronger stance with these new warnings about making systems unusable. No one knows if it will actually go through with such extreme actions against users.
