Holy crap that was a fast reply lol. The part where they were like “at least it’s not as bad as m$ and Sony” like bruh THEY SHOULDNT BE DOING THIS AT ALL
This is significantly worse than anything I've experienced from Microsoft. I've never heard stories of consoles just getting bricked. I'm sure they exist, but it didn't make the news from frequency. Consoles shouldn't be bricked.
Just to clarify, the console wasn't bricked, only banned from online use. Which also means banned from accessing eshop or downloading any updates. But physical games that doesn't require online would work fine.
Not that this is fine, shouldn't be banned for this either, but just clarifying the bricking part.
Do we know this for sure? On the original Switch, when new games came out, they often would refuse to play until you updated the firmware on the console. So depending on whether they allow banned consoles to update their firmware, offline games might not work either.
