Nope, the game will work regardless of what Nintendo do, though you are right they can kick you off their online platform. That isn't them deciding what happens with your physical copy though that is them deciding who can access their servers for what ever arbitrary reason they decide.

These kinds of figures are pointless without knowing the starting number of users, it could be an increase from 10 to like 30 or something... Also, this sudden rush of articles mentioning rednote seems more like an attempt to induce movement to it, but that could just be me being cynical.
So much negativity, regardless of motivation shouldn't we applaud big companies for doing the right thing and reward them? Or are we all just going to fall over ourselves to give TakeTwo our money for GTA6 after they've screwed with the community?
