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?

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Maybe it's meant to show how bad it is outside of Linux gaming?

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doubtful considering their post history. It looks like they're going to spam everything new this blog posts (they already posted the three latest, and they're no more relevant).

Oh yeah. This actually seems to be a spam account,

Switchroot is a thing

Kbin.earth is infested with spambots.

This is not linux related and also looks ai generated

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

[–] tabular@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] dudeface@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can play catridges with the games on still
