I agree with this statement, especially with the recent BS of being able to remotely brick your Switch 1 and 2, on top of the ridiculous price for the Switch 2...
I used to love nintendo man, now I look at my old collection and wonder where things all went wrong. Now we got 80 dollar games at minimum and the idea of actually owning the media you consume is crazy...
If this is in regard to the Switch 2 EULA âcontroversyâ, here are my thoughts.
1. This policy is essentially a TOS for using the console, and Nintendo has the right to enforce it with use of its products.
2. You probably didnât care about EULAs until this article came out.
3. While the language has changed between systems, itâs literally been in the EULAs for Nintendoâs systems since AT LEAST the Wii. Theyâre easy to find access onlineâjust google âwii/wii u/switch eulaâ, click on the results, and CTRL+F the word âunauthorizedâ, particularly in sections where it talks about modifications, software, or device connection. This wasnât an issue for the last three systems, why is it only one now?
4. Itâs LITERALLY in what the EULA acronym stands forââEnd User LICENSE Agreement.â
The console has performance better than a PS4, which retailed at $400, but not as good as a PS5, which WAS $500. Youâre telling me that something between those performances being priced between those price points isnât a fair value?
Theres also a certain forced arbitration clause that you gotta opt out of in writing, but honestly I am more hurt by the whole palworld lawsuit. It's pathetic in my eyes. On the level of politicians. Have nothing going for yourself so you just attack the competition.
Yeah, Nintendo can eat a bag of dicks. With how they are bullying Palworld, to their Switch 2 and game prices, now to their new EULA, they can just fuck right off. Great games but a terrible company.

You're just an idiot
