In problems that could only happen to console gamers, one Switch 2 owner recently received the hefty swing of Nintendo's banhammer thanks to some second-hand games. Nintendo are well known for being particularly litigious when it comes to protecting their IP, and it turns out inserting pirated carts is enough to set off the DRM protections on the brand new consoles.
The proud owner of a brand new Switch 2 known as dmanthey over on Reddit (via Tom's Hardware) found themselves banned after trying out some games they'd bought off Facebook Marketplace. The games were used Switch 1 games, and dmanthey thought all was well and good after inserting each cart and performing updates, ready for a full day of gaming ahead.
