>switch 2 is bricked unless you connect it online

that thumbnail

What expression is his face trying to convey?
I feel like hitting him.

This, so much this. Just be a fucking adult and fucking pay nintendo to use the internet. What's the big fucking issue?

Where did it say they were stolen?

so long gay bowser...

Imagine being such a coward consumer that you write this shit.

uhhh just hit the shift+f10 keys to open the command prompt and just type the command "oobebypassnro" to get around the internet requirement lolol

stolen

You don't use it for a while and they brick it because they think it's hacked.

Lol

i have my xbox in offline mode and only play physical games and this is not true. ive only had to connect it for smart delivery games and switching backward compatible games. the bc games function like a game key card and once you play it, it remains playable without net unless you switch games. lemme guess pc fags thats 10years out of the loop?

>You don't use it for a while and they brick it because they think it's hacked.

Source?

Tendies will unironically defend this

no it doesn't you disingenuous lying fuck

switch 2 is bricked unless you connect it online

Probably because it's a nothingburger. I'm an idort and I defend it.
Yes they do

tendies lie as easy as they breathe, several faggots in here engaging in whataboutisms and lying through their teeth in order to not criticize nintendie

waaaaaah waaaaaah steam bricked me because I need internet to buy their games

You'll survive

Disingenuous tendie faggot. You can play steam games without internet.

steam bricked your pc because yoh didn't buy their games? how?

Doesn't look like it since you need internet to create a steam account and internet to buy steam games.

OP should go back to sucking.

thatsonyguy

opinion discarded

gamerant.com/sony-toxic-gaming-bad-actor-detection-system-patent/

Documents reveal it's a "bad actor" detection system. Essentially it creates a social point profile of the user of their behavior history and limits your online capabilities until you behave yourself. It will only restore your access to service until you stop being a naughty incel and play nice.

UHHH ACTUALLY THIS GOES AGAINST MY DOOMPOSTING NARRATIVE SO IT DOESN'T COUNT

Notice everytime you shit talk Nintendo, everyone suddenly starts talking about how Sony is bad?

Anyone mildly interested in switch 2 should buy a launch one, put it on the shelf, and wait 3 years for the trannies to have it fully softmodded and running roms using whatever exploits they find in the first model.

You'll survive

How could I buy their games? I don't have internet so I'm bricked.

what's with the fake outrage

How did you post here

Sony is just too but this is just the mentality of a tendie, they are tribalism console warring faggots, it's kind of sad as most of them are probably in their late 20s or 30s and still engage in console war faggotry I grew out of when I turned 14 and realized how unbelievably gay cheerleading a corporation is

I pray for all Virtual Game Key Cards to become corrupted like a microsd card bumped during a data transfer in the midst of a heavy category 7.0 hurricane that caused a power blackout that corrupted several hard disks and destroyed several data centers and and the Switch 2 will be hacked and that Nintendo will not be run by the Saudis and the jews trying to DRM-gatekeep Nintendo to become Hotel Mario that you need Ganondorf's beast rune on your right hand or forehead to enter.

5G

When the dog cock is out of its sheath

take your meds

Nintendo can brick your console on command

That's just a nothingburger, chud!

Based Nintendo gatekeeping Anon Babbletroons from their console.

Ok PC vegan.

I totally outgrew it guise but I'll still dive head first because people make fun of my corpo overlord Sony!

tranime

I'm not on hrt unlike yourself

Just like Sony can when you call a nigger a nigger?

Every console since the internet era can be "bricked" at the command of the manufacturer.

Nothingburger.

y-youre a snoy!!!

Snoy is fucking pozzed and I haven't owned a single product of theirs since the ps2, get some new material you retard

Pootahar, all companies do this since... i want to say the original xbox

EVERYONE WHO MAKES FUN OF MY CHILDREN'S TOY IS A SNOY

Obsessed.

Switch 2 and most of its games might as well already be considered lost media when we know it's gonna happen. Don't waste money buying something that has a time limit before it literally cease to exist

the tendie defense force has arrived

Yeah that's really shitty, fuck snoy. Can we get back to shitting on Nintendo now? I'm sure there's already a thread about that you can go to

I don't have internet so I'm bricked.

logically having a previous connection and having downloaded the games afterwards you can remain inactive as long as you want (if it doesn't have denuvo) after that, but what appears here is that if your switch 2 does not connect to the internet at some point it will brick itself and you will not be able to run the games even in physical form and after having configured it connected to the internet previously or that is what they imply and I believe that Nintendo is capable of preventing you from pirating your console or using the pirated mig switch tools that seem to work on that one.

OP is still mad about this

Here's to 8 more years of his meltdowns.

Praying for you

Bruh, how fucking hard is it to wait until the day it officially launches?! I remember when you had to stand in line if you wanted the newest game console, but nooooooooo, we live in an overconnected society where everybody is gunning to be the "first" person to own the new thing for social media clicks. If you illegitimately obtained a Switch 2 before June 5th, you only have yourself to blame for why it doesn't work and I say this as a PCMasterRacefag

Fake outrage is so tiring. It's going to sell millions.

Several more years of seething. Can you believe it? Seething since 2017 might be a new record.

It's kinda funny when the pd5 doesn't even have a disk drive these days.

Nintendo can't afford another crowbcat incident...

if your switch 2 does not connect to the internet at some point it will brick itself and you will not be able to run the games even in physical form and after having configured it connected to the internet previously or that is what they imply

Doesn't look like it.

Nice resolution

Dunno. Eric fells really unwell lately. I fear he's gonna run his car in a waiting line on release night.

Weren’t y’all clowning on the Xbox One for being always online? Well so much for that lol

buy a delicious Whopper from Burger King

can't eat it without connecting to the Burger King app

WTF???

The immediate response to any criticism of Nintendo is to pull a whataboutism on Sony.

So predictable.

Why do people here make up reasons to be upset at?

I'm not getting a Switch 2 because I don't want some stupid white cunt living in LA to decide on what games I can or can't play.

I've never seen a nintendo switch fail like that, maybe youtube and tiktok is not a reliable source of information.

food analogy

It's okay when Nintendo does it, sister.

Because OP needs to pretend Nintendo is doing something bad as part of a shitty disinformation campaign as he's desperate for something to stick.

600 USD

one game

always online

But why?

buy a chair from the store

can't sit in it without an active internet connection

?

Sounds like a whole bunch of nothing.
At least it's not the PS5 bricking itself the moment PSN is down and it locks the disc drive out from being used.

I never did. I saw PC vegans doing it and then backpedaling when Steam was the same. Snoys did it for sure. Tendies are pretty chill and don't console war since we're mostly idorts.

For this reason, it seems to me, Nintendo is already modifying many of its clauses to do things like this.

Ok just don't expect other people to believe your concern trolling when you're just making shit up

It probably will because people are retards and just consume product, but objectively none of the things they are doing are pro-consumer and the fact it will still sell a lot means they'll keep pushing it more and more until we have 150 dollar plus games, with DRM and you won't even be able to use the console you buy unless you pay a monthly sub on it. The slippery slope isn't a fallacy.

Get fucked leakers.

You can still play steam games offline, you know? You just need internet to buy games.

already going full "nintendo secret service changes things in secret to make me look bad" shizoid melty

I dunno man, the sheer amount of seethe threads you keeo maling seems to suggest otherwise

tendies would lap that shit up and ask for more honestly

Forces Youtubefags, leakers, and journos to seethe because they have to wait just like all the other mortals

Good.

Based Nintendo dabbing on leakers and all manners of brownoids involved in illegal activities.

PC vegans

Stop eating computers Dobson

but your deck still need to be online once to get your games in the first place.

Like how snoys do the moment TOLU gets ported, remade, remastered, and sold at $110 digital?

It's pro consumer actually, people don't want to play with a random brazilian ruining everyone's fun with their modified switch. This is not new, it even happens with some PC games that ban your hardware, get fucked.

What expression is his face trying to convey?

Faggotry

nintendo.com/us/privacy-policy/whats-changed/
Sure

They literally are if you take a glance at any comment section. It's always the most autistic fat fuck you've met

BUT WHAT I WANT TO PLAY IT IN 50 YEARS AFTER THE FALL OF SOCIETY WHERE INTERNET ISNT A THING ANYMORE AND ALL I HAVE IS A SWITCH 2 NEW IN THE BOX

muh snoy

You're cut from the same subhuman cloth, actually you niggers are far worse as I don't even see any real snoys on this board anymore but I recognize the same tendoids here even after I was on vacation for a month

PC games that ban your hardware, get fucked.

When?

Well, how else are you supposed to get the games? Consoles have physical copies, so what's their excuse for being always online?

Apple is worse than Nintendo. Apple software locked every iPhone part.

Apple has implemented software locks, including "Activation Lock" and "parts pairing," on various iPhone parts, making it more difficult to repair iPhones with non-Apple parts or third-party repair shops. This feature aims to deter the use of stolen parts in repairs and potentially limit third-party repair options

they do because I SAID they do!

Yes, but it doesn't brick unless I connect it to the internet or install a game outside of Steam.

Learn to google you retarded zoomer, eat shit.

You can still play steam games offline, you know?

Just checked and I have no way of setting up a steam account or buying steam games without accessing their storefront on the internet.

What else are you going to do when you're in the nursing home other than relive your childhood

just trust me bro

Retarded tendiesister...

You're a coward who lies to protect his mommy billion dollar company.

i assume these retards dont understand what 'bricked' means and what is actually
happening is that you are forced to connect to the internet every once in a while?

Didn't see any info relating to what you said

Lmao

Wasn't buying it anyway desu.

What the fuck does a br have to do with anything, we're not talking about being banned from an online game but the stupid fucking thing being always online even if you're playing a single player game. I've never been banned from a single player game.

Thanks god we have enough great old games to play forever.

And Tendies not only will still buy it, you can see them ravenous defend Nintendo for it too.
I blame US lack of culture, as without tangible human connections people are instead grouping based on product consumption so being a Tendie is their whole identity and anyone pointing out they're a normal scumbag company is actually a personal insult on themselves.
Please try to connect with another person, it's never too late

Apple owners are also tendies

You should have no problem beating him in debate then.

System is bricked at the moment to prevent leakers and people who broke street date from posting shit online

When the system launches there's an update that unbricks the console

snoys somehow equals this to the Xbone

You are right, they are too poor to afford getting banned and getting their console bricked.

But also they are incredibly stupid

Steam

Create acccount online

Buy games online

Can play games offline

Nintendo

Create account online

Buy games online or physical copies

Cant play either offline

They can change, but in their policies they say that they have every right to brick your console,
gamefile.news/p/nintendo-emulation-hacking-brick-warning-terms-of-service

I'm doing fine, don't worry about me. Thanks for the fake concern though.

You'll survive

>Cant play either offline

Yeah you can

At least in Europe and China they can't do that, they could only do it in the USA and Japan.

I don't think your narrative is working OP.
How will you survive the remaining 9 days?

Get this scammer jeet out of here.

poorfag piratenigger thirdworlders BTFO!!!

See And add PC sotrefronts as well since they can brick your account.

be in Japan

buy switch 2

forget that it's spying on me always

feel like playing a randomized Zelda game

they brick my console

send police over to my house to arrest me for nodding

kangaroo tendie courts find me guilty

sued into indentured servitude

kill myself

Nintendo gulags my family

No

they can brick your account.

your account, not your PC or hardware, which is the most important thing.

They can change, but in their policies they say that they have every right to brick your console

This won't fly in EU, this is only an issue for the third world because they have no consumer protections

Guys, THIS time Nintendo will go down! Just two more weeks and they'll be bankrupt. That's what they get from constantly copying Sony!

Who the fuck buys a game console over internet access is the better question

Me

not your PC or hardware,

Hardware ban is a thing, steam is too lenient with cheaters

Your PC hardware has limitations on its uses set by the manufacturer as well.

Amen, Sonysister. I completely believe these random Youtubers and know in my heart Sony would NEVER force its loyal fanbase to connect to the internet.

Hardware bans don't even work if you're mildly not retarded so no one bothers with them, anything cheating hard enough in a PC game to warrant a hardware ban has already spoofed enough identifying registries and will easily get around those too.

just connecting to internet or requiring an nso sub? and how often will it check?

and you can use anything else, Epic game, gog, piracy, you can use software to change the appearance like the mac, so on pc it is too dimmed or impossible to ban you due to hardware (well for the moment the USA is forcing Nvidia that its next GPU can be blocked remotely if it is in China)

We warned you.
We told you when the 360 lainched XBOX live that this would happen eventually.
When preordering digital goods became the norm, we warned you it would turn out like this.
When digital stores started talking about you really renting the licence to play the game, and didn't really own it, we told you.
Writing was on the wall and you just couldn't fucking read, could you.
Enjoy your $600 paper weight.

Hardware bans don't even work

they do

OH NO NO NO. Delete this right fucking now. This is some Nintendo propaganda because Sony would NEVER EVER act against their consumers. However, if the person is a bigoted transphobic shitlord, I support them getting banned. We cannot have these people using a Sony product. Cities can rebuild, but a inclusive and trusting community of trans allies cannot without additional help.

So, anyone who doesn't have a mental illness can tell me what happened now? I'm not going to watch a youtuber.
The leaked console doesn't work and people are making speculations over that?

I know right? Imagine pretending to be mad about a competing system having no games

This will always be funny.

Where can they remotely brick my PC hardware if I don't use it the way they want?

No, no they do not. I get you're a diehard tendie but you don't know fucking anything about computers and it's obvious.

So by that logic all consoles are bricked because you need electricity to use them?

And a TV or monitor.

You retard, you are online right now crying about having to be online. Do you understand how stupid you sound?

do you think the selling of horse armor started this whole shitshow in the gaming industry?

BASED SONYCHADS DABBING ON INCEL CHUDS

Doug, btw.

By remotely serving you papers that summon you to a court date for a trial in which they are suing you for misues of their hardware, with parole conditions set that you're not allowed to touch that brands hardware ever again or face prison time.

My guy, every Nintendo console got hacked year one. We will have full piracy reign on Switch 2 in 2026

Yeah man that's why you never see cheaters in online games anymore because you can just ban the hardware and it gets rid of them like magic! Use some common sense.

Companies been doing this since the early days of the xbox. You just want to create a fake outrage against Ninendo for no particular reason. The time to fight against companies making people eat shit was 15 years ago but zoomers bend their assholes and got raped with a smile on their face.

Literally just google how a hardware ban works. Wouldn't worry about getting a hardware ban on any platform if i were you, i think you are too stupid to actually get one.

they've been doing this since the 3ds era, faggot. just dont hack or console or play games before their release date while connected online like a retard and you'll be fine

Yeah it sucks that we don't get physical games anymore. What's your excuse?

Yo man how is that relevant to hardware bans not working as intended? Use common sense

Yes
Old toys>console and pc

Everyone knows how they work except you apparently

All those require materials and you existing to play with.

Marbles are tied to ground DRM.

Yeah apparently, modern day discussion with you retards is incredible.

Buying physical switch games and playing them offline

you mongoloid monkey, I'll bite: the console is blocked (not bricked, retard) and needs a d1 update in order to prevent leaks on stolen or black market units

My dude, every switch homebrew scene got utterly BTFO. switch emulator development has come to a screeching halt, the hardware for Switch 2 is entirely different to the point where Switch games are emulated rather than run natively, and it's a custom chip designed with Nvidia rather than being a recycled chip from the Nvidia Shield that already had known exploits.

You're not going to see this think get hacked in year one. The fact Nintendo is going to such lengths to lock down day one consoles like this is going to make it even more difficult. The atmosphere is completely different than the times of the Switch 1 and prior. Nintendo has gotten extremely aggressive with punishing hackers these days and they're going to make an example out of the first one that sticks their neck out.

Hackers got too cocky, they were too loud about it. Should have gatekept their communities a bit so Nintendo spies didn't infiltrate their discords and found out how they reverse engineered code. They're fucked if they ever try to make another emulator, there is no legal grounds to do so anymore.

play on thick carpet or rocky/grassy terrain

marbles dont roll as far

wooooooooow

Because they don't fucking work idiot, they are requesting a registry of the hw from your os and it's the easiest thing to spoof in the world

That seems more like manufacturers and companies to me and is not aimed at the end user as Nintendo wants to do, who practically want to put you in jail or brick your console for pirating it.

Yes

oh, makes sense
i guess that means you have to connect the console online at least once to be able to use it, or maybe thats just the prerelease versions

It doesn't matter. Some autist will just NEED to run all Pokémon games on Switch 2 and thanks to him I will pirate all switch 2 FOR FREE

No matter how bad something gets I can always count on one of you faggots to make a stupid fucking comment like this no matter what.

Just the pre release versions most likely.

you existing to play with.

We live in a simulation of a Nintendo Switch 69, so technically I don't exist so it doesn't affect me.

no gaben did it

he doesnt know how to mod his marbles to bypass drm

kwab

Anti jailbreak protection i assume?

They work doe

good thing I dont exist

Crazy. I can play my PS5 no problem without ever connecting it.

Sure you do bud :)

And Nintendo will fly down to Brazil, knock on his door and lawyer rape him if he does so. This is not the Nintendo of 2017, nor the Nintendo of 2007, nor of 2001. You guys need to realize that. All of the main players of the Switch Homebrew scene, which were the same guys who were part of the Wii and Wii U homebrew scene have backed off or otherwise been arrested. They got cease and desists for their emulators.

The Switch 1 was a unique situation. TegraX1 was already busted wide open before the Switch even existed. This is not the same situation. The homebrew scenes are also in disarray. Newer technology gets harder and harder to crack. Just because the demand for pirated games is there doesn't mean they'll be able to pull it off this time. It will take AT LEAST 2-3 years, and that's for shoddy emulation. Better hope they keep it secret though, because you know Nintendo is going to drop down with all of their weight on the first person that releases an emulator or any kind of hack for Switch 2.

You guys were spoiled, and you fucked up. You had a good thing going. But you just had to go and brag about it and ruin it for everyone else. Mother fuckers on Nintendo's twitter bragging about how they steal their games, posting the sites where they steal them from, and since then many of those places and scenes have been forcibly shut down. Because you retards couldn't keep a low profile. It's never going to be that easy again.

ps5 doesn't count since there aren't any games to play on it in the first place

This, so much this.

Do muttmericans actually talk like this?

BROS WTF I HAVE TO BE ONLINE TO UPDATE MY CONSOLE?!1 IT WASN'T LIKE THIS WITH MY N64! IM SCARED OF THE ALL DIGITAL FUTURE!
engadget.com/2012-11-17-psa-day-one-patch-wii-u.html#:~:text=Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video,a classic Wii remote control.

Nintendo "bricked" switch 2 consoles to prevent shitskins from playing it early and soijakin' online. It made retards mad because they're worrying about servers shutting down 50 years later, as for that one snoy he's using this to push that "always online DRM" narrative.

I'm an Xbox fan, and I'm defending it, glad Nintendo jumped on board. Join us, we must become one.

Unless Nintendo hires hitmen they'd be laughed out of 90% of the world if they tried to go after someone making an emulator. Just don't be American, Korean, British or Japanese are you're fine.

there is no legal grounds to do so anymore.

there was NEVER any legal grounds or legal path to emulating Switch, or any console post 5th/6th gen
the DMCA is very clear about what constitutes a 'circumvention device' and any emulator that requires a BIOS or encryption keys file sourced from a physical device (of which there is NO legal method to extract or derive) in order to perform what is determined (not stated) to be its primary purpose (decrypt and run encrypted and protected copyrighted commercial software) cleanly falls under this definition
Every single emulator that needs a user-provided BIOS or keystore is illegal

I'm an Xbox fan

sure you are

Microsoft had something like this but never actually went for it, seriously, fuck Sony and its fans. Can't wait for the $1000 PS6 in 2028 and the $800 PS handheld in 2029. They deserve it

Reminds me of this other handheld device that wanted to stop piracy so badly it ended up killing the device.
It also had almost no exclusives, too many ports and was more expensive than its predecessor.
Digital only as well.

Surely launching a near $500 device with hidden costs and games priced at $80 + tip during a global recession is a great idea, I mean I am no Harvard Business School graduate so I could not comprehend such genius but I have a funny feeling about this but hey it is not like this is a Wii U 2.0 type of situation.

Surely parents love the idea of trusting half a grand to their kids, especially since Nintendo is the MOST popular platform amongst children and not mobile gaming. Even if not targeting their largest demographic fails them, they can still count on Star Wars like fans that are obsessed with Nintendo and also scalpers who will buy every single console keeping them outside the dirty clutches of the general public. Yes, this seems all peachy.

If by rape you mean pay and beg him to stop, then yeah. The only reason they got the yuzu guys was because they're American. Also development on switch emulators is still ongoing, Nintendo can never ever stop it.

It's all the same

wasnt the whole point of this handheld shit console to be able to play wherever you want?

Vita was a master class on how to not launch a console, that shit blew up in Sony's face so hard.

I would rape Nintendo if they came to my house and post it online

The rest of his post still applies, enjoy waiting 2-3 years for suboptimal emulation, nigger.

American website

Consoles are just for lazy boomers and children.
They're never going to let you archive your own video games, you're going to be part of the tribe once the solar flare wipes everything out whether you want to be or not.

obsessively using the word rape

Brown hands typed this

So if early firmware gets patched you're fucked. No matter how long the unit has been sitting on the shelf you're always getting the most up to date firmware.

Brown people are scary. Honestly im going to be racist from now on

Nighttime /v / are a bunch of 3rd world retards and Australians seething about Americans while they sleep.
Really sad when you think about it

Wii U

Anon...

I wish because you guys are annoying mother fuckers but only the first batch of consoles have these factory firmwares. Later ones will have the most up to date ones.

Nope. As it is now certain games have a system update on the cart itself.
20 bucks says mk world has the day one patch on cart

That's the general idea, yes a lot of early tricks in the homebrew scene for PSP had you going out getting a new console and seeing if it was in a specific frimware out of the box iirc, and if it was in (1.20 iirc) you were golden as it could run ANYTHING unsigned you threw at it.

that's to fuck over morons who leak it if that's even true besides after awhile they send out consoles prepatched anyway so this is a nothing burger, also what proof is there besides hearsay? is there footage of someone doing that? no? then it's baseless speculation.

PSP didn't even tried to stop piracy and the console died despite selling well.

Looking at the current trends, Nintendo will just sell the same games with new game price tag and "improved" graphics in 5-10 years again.

Yes it was something with the wiiu. What are you going this say? Aren't wiius easy to hack? Isn't all this about wanting to hack the switch 2? I don't understand you retards.

muh solar flare

riiiigghhhht and those yellow stone volcanos are totally going to go off and the world will end in 2012...any day now...

I came here to laugh at you and emulfags

Give me one reason why I should care about this.

Anyone ever been dmca, copyrighted, sued etc by Nintendo? They got one of my kids a while ago about changing parts on a car cause my nephew was playing Zelda in the background and I guess somehow it was audible enough for them to dmca me.

punishing fans who bought your system for $500 at launch with an incomplete os and non-functional console without a day one patch/ internet verification

All that effort just to pre-order the damn thing just for this?

The leaked console doesn't work

It works. But nobody has games. What doesn't work is Switch 1 compatibility layer because they're probably working on it down to the wire and it will require a Day 1 firmware update. For some reason clickbaiting retards are saying this means the console is "bricked" even though bricked means that a device doesn't even boot up or respond to any inputs at all. Which it does.
The rest of the thread is just clowns making shit up to get upset about.

Based

Its bricked you bootlicking tendie retard.

Thoughts and prayers.

Shut the fuck up you lying disingenuous snoy retard

Nintendo is going full digital dystopia and you will

...buy a PC handheld instead.

They got me immediately for torrenting once, sent a notice to my isp and I just chucked it in the trash

Cry about having to go online and update a console

Go online to cry about having to go online

Bro...

Yes because you can setup steamOS and install games from steam completely offline.

20 bucks says mk world has the day one patch on cart

They can't do that. The games need to reach store shelves at the same time the consoles do.

Handheld that only works within Wi-Fi range.

Kinda defeats the whole point of it being hand-held.

Not even on the wiiu generation you saw people crying about day one firmware patch for consoles. Are zoomers even more retarded than I expected?

the base ps5 doesn't, only if you buy the later model that needs an external disc drive

No, We just have better standards now.

all your tricks and secrets are known, all your 'secret' clubs are infiltrated, everyone is a potential informant, everyone who knows anything is thoroughly investigated and unmasked, monitored at all times and will be served/arrested and surgically removed from the scene at the first sign of any notable progress on hax/emulation
the age of Nintendo piracy and hacks is over

Based CHADmers not being kiked

The anon you're replying to already said you need internet to get the games. Once you've installed them, you can play them offline.

We both know that is 100% false

Tablet is just a glorified calculator unless you activate it on wifi

Wooooooow

nobody has any actual video proof of any of the claims being made.

It's almost like the switch 2 hate is forced

Nintendo was the last bastion of building an offline collection.
Sure you could do it on PC if you ~really~ cared but you would have to DIY and you already know most consumer PC hardware isn't military grade like the consoles are.
This is a stab in the back.

False.

holy shit guys it's the xbox fan

Even if it's true who doesn't have wifi or phone to use internet and update their console? If they can buy a 450 dollars handheld then they have internet.

boot up PC without connecting to the internet

can still use PC

banned from storefront

can still use PC

can still use games purchased from other storefronts, from GOG, and/or all your pirated games

This is not an a good comparison, you fucking apes. Steam is a storefront, it is not your PC, and even once youre banned, you can simply create a different account very easily and for free. You can pirate a million games on your PC but steam is still going to work just fine unless you do something stupid like use a stolen credit card.

hardware ban

literal nothingburger and only goes into place AFTER going online and cheating in an ONLINE game

this is how mental illness looks like

Just be a shitskin thirdie and you're fine

kek

but what about this totally believable hypothetical where I, totally innocent customer, am getting banned from eShop

zoomers standard

Failure of a generation

he thinks it's okay to block the ability to play physical games on a console behind an internet check

I can setup SteamOS offline, it's literally Linux. I don't have any use using it offline tho, as Steam isn't as jewishly greedy as Nintendo.

set up consoles manufactured before release to require an update to work

day one

everyone who preordered grabs their new console

they all try to download the update at once

servers crash

switchnobyl meltdown occurs

It won't happen but god it would be funny if it did

Online service goes down

You now own a paper weight

You faggots deserve it

Remember playing Gameboy and DS innawoods? The glowies must track all devices.

Correct, they're even more greedy than Nintendo.

He made a situation on his head

Yes, what with the monthly fee to use Steam matchmaking, the inability to download games to multiple devices, and having to buy my games again at full price every 5 years when a new steam client releases

Xbox only does an online check for digital licenses every 30 days if the console goes offline. Switch does the same thing for digital titles and subscription based applications like the emulators.

even in third world countries have internet these days, unless you live literally in the middle of nowhere chances you you have internet access, hell phones can set up as networks too.

my games

They were more greedy out the gate.

Xbox only does an online check for digital licenses every 30 days if the console goes offline

so after 30 days, your entire xbox catalog gets bricked till u reconnect? that's insane.

internet check

It's just a system update, retard. Imagine making such a big deal over something that'll take less than five minutes to do

Even if it's true who doesn't have wifi or phone to use internet and update their console? If they can buy a 450 dollars handheld then they have internet.

Even 100 year old granny has a Wi-Fi connection these days Anyone whining about it online has the ability update via the internet.

Plus like the Switch, the Switch 2 cartridges will probably contain the firmware update regardless because Nintendo will want as few people as possible on the original firmware to reduce piracy.

How do you debate this

Learn to google you retarded zoomer, eat shit.

don't you all have phones?

buy my games again

They're not your games, you're only licensing them from valve... sucker

"Other consoleniggers eat shit, so its fine if we too need to eat shit to play our 7th gen looking games"

pathetic faggot

Please, point me to the games that steam has not only removed from sale, but forcibly removed from the consumers drive.
95% of games on steam don't even need steam installed to open, they play off the exe.

going full digital dystopia and you will like it

The Switch 2 will be the last console I own. If consoles are retarded mini pc's with none of the benefits, I see no point in owning any of them. What's funny is I thought consoles would eventually die off, but I assumed it would be long after I had died. I didn't believe for one second I would live long enough to see consoles go from something you own and use, to something you are allowed access at the whim's of Nintendo/Sony/Sega.

Valve isn't going to take games off of people, there would be a massive backlash

b-but they delist games!

if you bought it you can download it

I don't lose all of my games on PC. Sure I lose some but I got all of my GoG library and over half of my installed Steam games.

What gaming platform are you using that doesn't have terms and conditions on their platform?

Go read Nintendos ToS for both their games and consoles. You own a limited license as well, including for your device and physical games.

it's not the 1990's anymore grandpa, even third world shitholes have internet.

Reading up on this, it seems to only be for Switch 1 games due to the way the system emulates them.

guys Switch 2 doesn't require an internet check to play your physical games, it just requires the Switch 2 to CHECK THE INTERNET for an update to download in order to play your physical games

Enlighten us then anon, in 2025 who would buy a Switch 2 that doesn't have an internet connection?

you can still play a game without updating it first, retard kun

switch 2 needs a day 1 update to play switch 1 games

what a nothingburger holy fuck

Boy are you stupid

First point to me a steam game you own.

steam offline mode doesn't have a time limit you disingenuous fuckhead.

Show me Valve selling a kart game for 90eurobucks. :^]

He is being reasonable.

Strong storm

Forget to pay

Wild Fire

Strong winds

Snow

Line repairs

Your automatic payment didn't go through for some reason

Don't have enough money to pay

Vehicle accident in the area

Animal fucked the wires

I have had all of these and more happen to me through out the years. Shit happens, but losing your PORTABLE console is fucking retarded.

Switch does that for switch online stuff because yes that's a subscription. But digital games will always work. I didn't know that Xbox did that for any online stuff.

people online bitch about needing the internet to update the console day 1

people online bitch

people ONLINE

so it's a non-issue.

Looks like they took your games away from you in 2003 with the launch of Steam and there was no balcklash.

You update the system once to enable backward compatibility (since this only effects Switch 2 games). This isn't the same as "checking the internet" to play an individual game

you have far worse problems then not being able to play games if any of the issues you listed came up.

Terms and conditions? What are those? Sounds like some stupid landlubber thing

Valve doesn't make games anymore.

switch 1 games*
I mean

Sounds like a shithole m8

Then pirate Switch 2

Remember all the times I could just boot up my PSP/DS if my power ever went out for a bit of entertainment while it came back

Can't even have that luxury anymore

But what if I'm in the Andromeda galaxy in the year 2418 and I want to play a Switch 2 huh?

I don't think you've lived enough or left your mom's basement. Which is a far more pressing issue.

something that happened over 20 years ago

that's not the "gotcha" you think it is.

Think of the poor monks at the monasteries who swore off material goods who will be unable to play their Switch 1 games on Switch 2 without the internet they swore off.

The real kicker is that not even reviewers will be able to bypass the need for the June 5th patch. Nintendo boxing out prerelease reviews is a red flag.

Not that anyone playing Xbox will complain because they only use game pass and don't buy any games.

Based piracy enjoyer

You can kill yourself nigger monkey retard, I VVill be playing videogames even in an apocalypse while you live like a caveman.

says the anon crying and throwing a temper tantrum over a video game system aimed at families and children, it's not wise to throw stones in glass houses, you know.

Retard used the freestore and got banned.

Lol no shit. That would be like finding an exploit to add free games into your steam account and complaining later about getting banned for it.

You do realize it will be cracked open just like the previous tendie console, right?

Anon how do you update the system without an internet check?

Are you implying Nintendo will allow us to download a copy of the system update for the OS on a personal hard drive independent of the Nintendo server?

Yeah it was. You can't own steam games. They pioneered what you're pretending to be angry at.

They did that to prevent leaks I bet
Looks like it worked

The real kicker is that not even reviewers will be able to bypass the need for the June 5th patch. Nintendo boxing out prerelease reviews is a red flag.

The only people who need a review of a console won't be buying it on day 1 you dope. There's actually no need for reviewers to access it early.

Don't forget the expensive storage cards. That's another common trait. Granted, SD Express isn't outright proprietary to Nintendo unlike the Vita cards, but it will be the dominant market for them for a while.

Yes, that's why I told you to pirate it when it does happen.

Nigger

What the fuck is this argument conflating completely unrelated topics? How the fuck is it okay for my generation to grow up being able to play videogames without power in the dark but suddenly its okay now to take this away all because your corporate overlords decided it? God I really fucking mean it, you are the dumbest nigger gorilla fucking subhuman monkey retard I have ever seen on this website and I do NOT care what your skin color is.

the only people truly ass hurt by this are the scalpers and journo's and retard youtubers

Saying the truth is bad

OK?

Shitty ecelebs can't have their console experience before me

Why is that a bad thing?

projects unrelated nonsense

No anon you are misunderstanding, precisely because you are a nigger. NTA btw.

Nothingburger. Every console in the internet era does this

Aww hells nah. Even if my ps5 is offline, I still able to play my physical ps5 games.

nobody should be allowed to criticize glorious Nintendo before their product releases

all the retards in this thread seething over a baseless rumor without a single shred of evidence just "I saw it in a dream"

this anon gets it, only people who know they want the thing will buy it day 1.

Yes, Nintendo saying it needs a day 1 patch to play has nothing to do with them preventing leakers
Stop being so low IQ

Same with switch. You don't own a PS5 btw.

This is about backwards compatibility with switch 1 games that is needed to be updated.

there was a time where reviewing things when they actually came out was the standard.

Yes baaically that's what they're doing to you and there's nothing you can do about it but seethe.

Hackers have got to be the biggest retards on the planet and I'm glad they're finally getting shit on.

Mad eceleb

Kek you can wait some few more days for that :)

modern pirates were way too busy virtue signaling and turning piracy into lazy activism, back in the day you kept quiet about pirating stuff, nowadays every kid has to gloat on twitter that they "rizzed and glizzed the hot top man no cap" and then put every big corpos eyes onto the piracy and emulation scene, I feel zero sympathy to the modern pirate.

ruh-roh the tendie made a poopie in his diapie

projects even more schizobabbling nonsense

My IQ is 147 and I was formally tested in the 2nd grade, thanks. I'd tell you to stop being a nigger, that's completely impossible for you. No I will not elaborate. I am however going to extend this reply chain calling you what you are until you get bored and I have absolutely zero interest in genuine discussion with you, on the basis of principles alone. I genuinely hope you eat a bullet and NEVER reproduce.

I'm a pc gamer you fucking retard, the only handheld I own is a legion go, I have a 4090pc btw. Stupid nigger monkey.

My IQ is 147 and I was formally tested in the 2nd grade

That's all I needed to hear, thank you anon

unironically buying a portable PC

what's that old saying about the sincerest form of flattery again?

t. seething kotaku journalist wanting the death of a whole race

I thought more people would get a kick out of this, with how much they hate journos(who I've seen complain already on Twitter). I'm not getting an S2 for a loooong time but I'm enjoy all the launch chaos

Jesus, you guys never forgave journos for telling people about Switch emulation, huh

It is immensely better value than buying a piece of shit gaming laptop that isn't actually portable. I can play ALL of the newest slop on it. What's your counter argument going to be next you fucking corporate slave? God you're so fucking stupid.

I'm wait until they fix the controller drift before buying this time.

Oh, that makes sense, thanks

I mean, thats the reason why switch emulation got killed.

Third world have better internet than US anon.

but you need a literal phone app to set up the xbox, the fuck are you talking about

I know I am laughing my ass off at everyone not stopping to think for more then half a second about what boils down to a click bait article with no source, video proof or anything even remotely credible.

god twitter tards the dumbest motherfuckers, is fact checking an alien concept these days?

Kek. Pootahar.

corporate slave

he says sucking off gaben's closed off system

not very smart, are we?

YOU JUST CANT STOP FUCKING PROJECTING YOUR RETARDED FUCKING NIGGER MONKEY BULLSHIT CAN YOU?!?!?!

I FUCKING PIRATE MY GAMES, I AM NOT SUCKING ANYONES FUCKING DICK.

Sounds like someone got it early by illegal means cant use it, so good. Wait like the others goiym

If Nintendo fails then gaming is saved.

Faggot.

explain

Communist.

you mad bro?

This but Valve

YES I AM MAD THAT PEOPLE SO GODANM DUMB AS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FUCKING BREATHE LET ALONE COME ONTO MY GODANM WEBSITE AND SOMEHOW THINK YOU DONT SOUND ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RETARDED. YOU SOMEHOW THINK YOU AREN'T OBSCENELY STUPID WHEN YOU WERE WRONG ON EVERY SINGLE GODANM POINT. THERE IS NO GENUINE REASON YOU WOULD DEFEND THIS SHIT. KILL YOURSELF.

I refuse to acknowledge nintendo fans as being actual human beings.

You'll survive

You won't, trash.

steamie having a steamie melty :)

Shut up tendie

schizobabbling nonsense from someone who didn't even read the thread

You lost.

You first, PC vegan.

a random picture of an open box taken by a store employee is surely proof of this being the case!

stores would get fucked in the ass by nintendo ninja's if that was even remotely true

Keep those tears coming.

If it was your website you could remove him from it.
But it isn't.

On one hand, 99% of people who buy a Switch 2 will have wifi, and if they don't they can just go somewhere with free wifi just once to activate it. On the other hand, it's still retarded to have to connect a $450 device to connect to the internet to work, a device that can be played without internet.

more schizobabbling nonsense from once again someone who didn't read the thread

Since you're so dumb, I'm going to now direct you to the post you should read. You were clearly incorrect and therefore have lost. Facts do NOT care about your feelings. All future responses from you without a formal rebutal will only be concessions on your part.

this, so much this.

Update happens when doing daily commute

oops, can't play your games now because no internet connection :)

Tell me one reason that this is acceptable.

I was here since the website's inception and I even predated it with SA and 2ch I was there for all its history and culture, it is MINE you fucking nigger monkey.

Because there isn't a goddamn thing you will do about it

That's actually a screencap of the video. I think it was originally posted from an account in Dubai? Legit as far as anyone can tell.

Shut up Dobson

waaah I was slightly inconvinced when I could just wait until I get home to update it once waaah

guess nintendo fan boys really are children.

and what did all that time get you?
screeching in a switch 2 thread, powerless.
sucking cock.

No one respects tendies and never will.

Nigga, technology is supposed to not inconvenience me, especially when previous technology didn't do it.
You stupid.

Reminder that japs will not only openly support these practices, but then immediately chastise everyone else for pirating games their sacred cow doesn't sell anymore.

The same people that keep sucking One Piece's cock all refuse to break the law when it is morally correct to do so.

He's still making up scenarios in his head

I straight up don’t care about click bait onions face YouTube videos.

I thoroughly using cruise control for cool, not my fault you're such a newfag nigger monkey retard you can't be bothered to appreciate anyone's culture and are willing to be bodied by corporations that clearly hate you. You are scum, you are beyond rectification and if there is even a small 0.000000000001% chance I can get you to kill yourself through this petty anonymous interaction I am going to take it, and I am going to thrive off of it.

Married and retired before 30 by the way, before you assume even MORE retarded fucking nonsense.

Thats because they dont see their goverment as the WG, they see the rest of the world as the WG and their government as the pirates.

okay but does the video show that being the case? unless there's actual footage then it's BS
there's plenty of japs who pirate shit they are just not dumb enough to self report like westerners.

Are you telling me that I have to connect my new console to the Internet a single time in order to set it up, like every other console in recent memory? How the fuck can I afford something as expensive and unnecessary as Internet access? Fuck Nintendo, this is horseshit. I'll instead buy the PS5 Pro for the low low price of $700. Then I just need the disc drive and stand, and then connect to the Internet for console updates and I'll be ready for when Sony decides to release a game! #4theplayerz

And as usual, you won't do shit.

I don't think I've really fully understood the grifter label until I saw these parasites that make these perfectly timed daily 10 minute long vague yet outrage bait titled meandering rant videos supposedly about Nintendo but actually nothing in particular.

cruise control for cool

trying too hard to fit in, lurk more.

[other company] doing bad things justifies [company] doing shit things

I hate the modern discourse.

reminds me of that one time a desperate anon made a up scenario where a child would get killed and raped if he had a switch on him while outside, but if he had a ps4 he could somehow call the police and be saved

This but PC vegans

I'm doing shit right now, every true anon is that is reading this thread is siding with me. This is a chud website and all us will die before you retards will succeed in trying to bully us off our own platform, fucking kill yourself and do a flip.

Seethe harder commie

Sounds rough. You gonna be ok lil buddy?

Been here since 2004 newfag. Don't even talk to me if you weren't part of the patrioticniggas or there at pool's closed at MINIMUM.

They have never banned for being hacked.

These retards got banned for playing pokemon a month early before release online.

went from

i will kill you

to

k-kill y-yourself!!!

in the span of 1 post
wow
what a fucking puss puss

Yeah grifters make ragebait video's for clicks.

you have to be at least 18 to use this website.

If you purchased one online you have online
If you went to purchase one in person there's free wifi everywhere, Gamestop has free wifi.
Tears of the Kingdom having 1 million players before it even released really did a number on Nintendo, and I don't blame them, here's hoping that this is just a Switch 2 launch console thing and that the next batch to hit market are pre patched to work out of the box.

You'll survive

/thread

Facts don't care about your feelings and I'm 30+, cope.

You're not supposed to use this website unless you are over 18. While this does explain why you are so mad about the Switch you shouldn't be breaking the rules.

Weak bait, see

Here's a question how would Nintendo brick your hacked Switch when it's hacked and running a custom OS that subverts these features?

specifically keeps saying "30+" and not any actual age

claims to have been here for 22 years and at SA before that

Literally underage.

Shut the fuck up, commie, get a job like a normal person and buy the fucking console and its game like a normal person. Feels good knowing that this shit is going to start getting condemned here in the US. All you commies may be extinct in 4 years here in America.

They can't brick your Switch, the worst they can do is give you a console ban that will block it from ever accessing online ever again.

Which is what my Switch got kek

It's just Switch BC that requires the update. It plays Switch 2 games just fine

Snoys jumped the gun again. How embarrassing

30+ is the minimum cutoff for boomer tier posters and 2009 is the cutoff for eternal cancer. You're absolutely pathetic if this is the best argument you can come up with. I started using the internet when I was 11 by the way, and I'm currently 37.

Yeah the math aint mathin' just some underage trying to fit in by looking up Anon Babble memes on 9gag or some shit.

I mean, that makes sense despite what some shitmongers will tell you, because Switch games on Switch 2 without a full upgrade edition have to effectively be emulated on the hardware itself. If the games literally do not have the updates for compatibility out, and you obviously cannot boot Switch 2 games that haven't launched yet, it's not much wonder it's a useless device.

your bait is weak but i've been here since 2003 and i'm still somehow stupid enough to chomp down on it

weak indeed

You're absolutely pathetic

Crazy, I was just thinking the same thing.

your 37 and you still spout cancer memes? if you aren't lying that's even more pathetic then if you were some under age.

What I fucking do in my EXCESSIVE amounts of free time, at 2am is entirely my own prerogative you retarded newfag fuck. I can and am entirely justified in calling out faggots like you that defend this shit, encourage this shit, and try to normalize this shit. You are nigger aids and you deserve total death. Should I go post in some shitty twitter bait thread or gacha crap, is that what you think is a better use of my shitposting time? Fuck you, do a flip.

You should have grown out of trolling Anon Babble threads about toy brands at least 15 years ago

YOU ARE CLEARLY A FUCKING NEWFAG, STOP OUTTING YOURSELF AS A FUCKING NEWFAG AND USE THE GODANM ARCHIVE I AM NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR RETARDED ASS FURTHER.

"Why does it matter the games cost 80 dollars? GTA6 was already going to raise the standard anyway."

What?

Goddamn son, you are a piece of work.

.... doesn't that defy the ENTIRE POINT of the switch being an hybrid?

if you truly were an old fag you'd know not to feed the troll.

"Why does it matter the games cost 80 dollars? 80-90 dollarinos have been the standard worldwide for the past 5 years anyway."

Food analogies are always the best, you gay.

you should've grown out of trolling on Anon Babble

Appeal to triviality, you can leave if you care so little about videogames faggot. This shit is my life and passion and I would straight up kill myself if I couldn't play videogames.

inb4 some pathetic filthy casual plebian response about how videogames aren't that big of a deal

Go back.

switch 2 is out?

This thing gets worse with every new bit of news that leaks out. Nintendo went full Jew. Even Microsoft must be impressed by the scumbaggery involved. Nintendo is easily the most anti-consumer gaming company. It’s not even debatable anymore.

Still buying GTA6. Sorry about the PC release

It's retard social media speak. Spouted by idiots that can't articulate an actual opinion so they just latch on to something said by someone who aligns with their view point or narrative.

nah it's just some faggot making rage bait tweets, it's a nothing burger.

"that can't articulate an actual opinion"

so they agree with someone who has the same opinion

this makes them idiots

I don't think I will ever understand how you people come to these conclusions.

The debate is still on, my friend

I still dont get it why would anyone buy this console
It has autism kart, dumbed down donkey kong, basketball in wheelchair and cyberpuk in 360p

It is out
However it’s still not confirmed 100% if it’s fully bricked until launch because no one uploaded a video proof yet

That's already more games than PS5 got in 5 years

It's not "bricked". It's fully operational, just can't run Switch games without the update as the conpability is still being worked on

DELETE THIS NOW

Based. Fuck pirates, y'all going to download the latest firmware whether you like it or not.

y'all

go back.

There needs to be a slur for people unironically using yall

modify console in order to pirate games

NOOO WHY IS NINTENDO NOT LETTING ME PIRATE GAMES? I OWN THE SWITCH. NOT LETTING ME STEAL THEIR CONTENT IS ANTI-CONSUMER.

I OWN THE SWITCH. NOT LETTING ME STEAL THEIR CONTENT IS ANTI-CONSUMER.

Yes, because piracy is not stealing, it is a perfectly valid way of preserving video games.

NOOO YOU HAVE TO BE OKAY WITH NOT MAKING MONEY ON PIRATED GAMES BECAUSE I'M "PRESERVING" IT.

why are you arresting me

i'm just preserving the mona lisa

Switch 1 isn't like that. Switch 2 is. They just made a console worse. Why are you defending this?

Tendies can't help but lie huh?

They already made money because people already paid for it.

A digital possession is the same as a physical one.

I guess you steal memes from Anon Babble or images from Google when you copy it.

Death Stranding 2 release and Half Life 3 announcement this year will be the final nail in Switch 2's coffin.

you are the disingenuous one, you needed internet at least once for steam. Gaben started this whole shit

I just want to play offline fuck using emails passwords play with others just leave me alone and fuck off

mfw retards actually think Miyamoto is sitting at his control panel in Kyoto ready to press the big red kill button to take away anon's Switch

Yes, and then you can use it offline(By the way, if you don't want to use Steam on PC, you can install GOG or pirated games) , however Nintendo bricks your console if it is not regularly connected to the internet.

he doesn't know

Nintendo bricks your console if it is not regularly connected to the internet.

Impressively retarded of you to lie to blatantly

I miss when pirates were just keeping to themselves and pirating in peace indeed of going on some grandstanding triades and excusing themselves with "game preservation"

lbpunion.com/post/what-is-a-playstation-cmos-battery/
They can easily put anything into the firmware

LMFAO

LMFAO

LMFAO

i will buy a PC playing in Consoles is cucked games are more expensive paying for Online less powerful fuck them i will not miss them

One less advantage off the checkist that nintendo fans can latch on.
This pre release period has been brutal.

Or simply a kind of DRM in the OS that if it doesn't connect regularly to the Internet, it won't let you do anything.

So if I understand right, tendies in this thread are proud that Nintendo aligned themselves to the worse practices done by everyone else?
Why are they defending an objective decrease in service quality?

wait, when you say "online" do you mean any wi-fi or do you also have to pay for nintendo's online to boot the console up?

Bethesda, Valve, Microsoft and Sony are the four horsemen of the apocalypse for the industry for respectively introducing horse armor, loot boxes, subscription for your own internet and paid early access (started with Star Wars Galaxies, which was Sony).
I would've added Nintendo if their fucking amiibo and paired DLCs became widespread (but you could argue that Skylanders did it first) but thankfully it stayed mostly on WiiU.

can't wait for part 2

youtube.com/watch?v=Cb-srOfRqNc

YOU CAN'T USE THE PRODUCT YOU BOUGHT UNTIL WE SAY SO

do people enjoy being this pussywhipped?

The desperation from the anti-Nintendo crowd gets more and more hilarious the closer we get to release.
Do they believe it'll make people not buy the console?
Preorders are all sold out, so there's no point trying to spread FUD targeting launch, and then once the console has released, people will be immediately able to see through their bullshit. It's completely pointless. They've already lost and they don't even realize it.

tendies will defend Nintendo taking their own parents to slave camps if need be.

"the people who were gonna pirate weren't going to buy the game anyway" is a cope poorfags say just to justify their actions. Companies taking measures to prevent piracy and pressure people to buy the game instead is a pretty logical business decision. we all want free shit, but to say a company is anti-consumer for trying to prevent piracy is pretty retarded. I would say the same for any company no matter how much I hate them.

Dude, if we rise enough stink Switch 2 will flop, Nintendo will go 3rd party and we'll be playing Mario on our PS5s by Christmas

You can. It's perfectly functional

Still begging for Bing Bing Wahoo despite everything? Figure it out anon

They probably do to be honest. Their behavior hasn't been too dissimiliar from orbiters of nuissance streamers so I could 100% buy that they believe their own bullshit.

I tried Astrobot, but it's just not it

"the people who were gonna pirate weren't going to buy the game anyway

A company is only affected by piracy in the first few months of launch, after which its impact is zero.

Companies taking measures to prevent piracy and pressure people to buy the game instead is a pretty logical business decision.

This is the paycuck and cocksucking company's cope

but to say a company is anti-consumer for trying to prevent piracy is pretty retarded.

If they apply shit like DRM, it seems to me that yes.

There's no DRM

NOOOO the niggers who stole the console before release date can't play it!!!!

LMAO someone please explain - why the FUCK should I care about this? Seriously, try me. My pre-order is in and I'm playing it on release with zero issues guaranteed.

Tendies deserve this for being such rabid bootlickers. Nintendo knows they can fleece them, so that's exactly what they're doing. They reward every single bit of Nintendo's shitty behavior. They asked for this.

NOOOOO YOU NEED MIYAMOTO TO ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DO WITH THE CONSOLE

ign.com/articles/nintendo-privacy-policy-update-says-switch-2-may-monitor-and-record-audio-and-video-chat-sessions-with-your-consent
How sad to be such a corporate cocksucker

It seems that there will be a lot of DRM on Nintendo Switch 2.

snoy still never opened his ps5 package after buying it and assume silly things about reality.

What expression is his face trying to convey?

Are you autistic? He's clearly expressing shock and bewilderment.

Nothingburger. Every console in the internet era does this

Not even the fucking STEAM deck does this.

Mentally ill same fag cultist

Literally does force you to sign in with an online account.
STEAM NEEDS the internet to work

Bump

What are you even babbling about.

?

newfag negative campaign shill doesn't know about the bump limit

kek

stram deck magically come with all you games preinstalled just like that

Good job op you have another 500 post NDS thread under your belt, only took you 12 hours of samefagging to get there.

It's saved on the console and only sent to Nintendo if you get reported.

he's just going to make another thread about this
he was spamming threads about >360p for a week

I wonder how increasingly unhinged they'll get in the final week.

You can transfer them or just not use steam if you want. You can use steam offline forever.

pizzafaceguy

Oof
It's the face of regret of not getting anti acne cream in his teens

And how did you first turn it on?

he preemptively made a few ( and ) which didn't bait anyone and then started bumping them once this thread hit the limit
it's so fucking obvious lmao

By just turning it on. It'll boot into your account in offline mode just fine.

So probably the same with this one.

You may need an internet connection to complete the initial setup of the Steam Deck, as it requires online access to register the device and download necessary updates. However, there are alternative methods, such as using a smartphone to scan a QR code for Steam Guard, that will allow you to bypass this requirement.

Alternatively you can boot on your microSD card or usb external storage on system OS that doesn't need Steam Login.

thirdies, which are the main target audience for Switch 2

Oh no no no...

That was not the question asked.
The question was the first time.
