By the same logic, just because you are combating piracy doesn't mean you can take away the ownership from your customers, much less do it whenever you want. Not just because of ethical concerns, but because they'd be opening themselves to a boatload of financial and legal troubles. There's going to be hell to pay if they decide to implement this, no decent consumer protection law is going to allow that.

You do something illegal with a thing you bought, you lose that thing. You rob a store with a knife you bought, the police will take away your knife. Im not sure why gamers should be above that law. Just dont steal games and you will be fine.

Nintendo cannot do something illegal to combat something illegal, it's the law's prerogative to act upon that. Besides, if they can brick your system for violating their TOS, who's to say what they'll add in there in the future? We all know how quickly tech companies change their TOS nowadays, and how overreaching they are. If I decide to install Linux on my Switch, am I doing something illegal? No, but by Nintendo's logic, it might be interpreted as breaking the TOS, so no more Switch for me.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
