nintendos new user agreement update risk of bricked switch systems for
Oh, gamers - ever the rebels. Nintendo has updated their user agreement, and this isn't any old 'ts and cs' amendment. In what feels akin to a strict teacher scrawl across the blackboard, Nintendo is smacking its ruler and pointing at all the cheeky folk who "bypass, modify, decrypt, defeat, or tamper with" their games.
Nintendo's shiny, updated user agreement now comes with its very own virtual bouncer, poised to brick any Switch system that dares step out of line. This ‘Take That!’ move by our Japanese game gurus is rather similar to an unyielding nanny, dish out a 'steely-eyed' punishment when you're caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
Like a forced promise to be on your best behaviour before you're permitted entry to a sweet shop, you'll get the green light to dive into your favourite game only once you've agreed to Nintendo's cleaned-up terms. The struggle of technological integrity VS users' penchant for mischief, therefore, continues.
One might say it’s a game within a game. Cheeky lot, aren't we all? Don't worry, despite the hullabaloo, we remain undeterred and unfazed. We see your move, Nintendo, and we brace ourselves for the next round. All in good fun! Read more here.
