      The fact that there is even a discussion about large corporations being able to take away a product they already sold you is crazy to me.

      Honestly, this should be a wake up call for US consumers. They got mad at “””woke””” games but think a company taking away their bought hardware is normal.

      Again, a W for consumer rights.

      kinda jealous that you guys get basic consumer rights in Europe

      Another common European W. Even if it would’ve been in the EULA, I reckon the courts would like to have a word with Nintendo.

      But I thought regulations drive businesses away. (/s)

      Yeah, I think I prefer the overregulation instead of the American way.

      Thanks very much.

      Is this website itself not in violation of EU laws? GDPR article 7.4: Personal data cannot be used as a currency.

      This is a misunderstanding both of the EULA and what a EULA is.

      Nintendo and all gaming companies have such a right in most of the world, including the EU. This language has been in most EULAs of most consoles for as long as I can remember, in all regions I know of, including the EU.

      In this specific case, what the EULA says or not does not matter, as Nintendo always retains that right, whether they explicitly state so or not. But still, the language is not that different. In both EULAs, which refer to the Nintendo account, Nintendo states that it can become unusable if it is used for piracy. In both cases, this refers to Nintendo’s copyrighted software, which can be necessary for the device to function.

      Corporations cannot take your physical devices from you, neither in the USA nor in the EU. Copyright law generally makes it so that you own a revocable license to the software however, both in the USA and the EU. That software can include the OS. Historically, all such companies, including gaming ones, have had that right. Some explicitly state it and others do not. It has been explicitly stated in the EULAs for most of Nintendo’s, Sony’s and Microsoft’s previous consoles.

      Do, the switch 2 doesn’t belong to you anywhere.
      Anywhere? Not quite, one small international Union still defends the idea that a bought product belongs to and is owned by the customer!

      lol knowing how litigious the US is I can bet someone is praying that Nintendo does that, US might not have the same consumer protection like the EU but boy can they sue the hell out of any company
