Nintendo Switch 2: why your console can get banned without doing anything wrong (playstationcouch.com)

A server glitch banned Switch 2 consoles out of nowhere this week. But the incident reopens a bigger question: who actually controls the hardware you bought?

Getting banned from an online service isn’t quite the same as locking people out of the hardware itself though

Are you aware of game cards? Or Sony phasing out physical disks?

Future is, sadly, all digital

Don’t disagree with you but the post made it sound like the hardware was bricked

Without the service what can you use the hardware for? Play the games you already downloaded?
