I've been enjoying PC games a lot even though I have a Switch 1. I might even repurchase Balatro on Steam.

Like Terraria is hell on Switch, so I've already eaten that cost so why not for the other 3rd-party games I have?

It’s just not nearly as nefarious as it sounds. This person basically won the anti-lottery of buying a used game that was ripped and distributed on a piracy site and flagged by Nintendo. The chances of that happening when you buy a used game are unlikely as fuck… but because it can happen to individuals, they asked for a little proof that this user was telling the truth and then unbanned him when he provided it.

This isn’t something that’s going to happen to many people realistically but it’s nice that there’s a solution if it does.
