Just to be clear, this isn't brick on a whim, this is disabling access to online services on a whim.
Seems a lot of commenters are getting that confused due to not opening the link.
- Someone1234 1y agoOnline Services, including any digital purchases which could be into the hundreds of dollars in value.
- nonchalantsui 1y agoYes, although if one is buying used, then you're likely already avoiding digital purchases through this online service. So just keep buying used. Pretty easy workaround.
- gs17 1y agoDo we know if it blocks you from downloading "game key" cards? In that case you're effectively stuck with Switch 1 titles. Not that you should need a "workaround" for being punished because someone else did something.
- skwirl 1y agoSo not being able to download any of the games you have purchased ever again?
- nonchalantsui 1y agoArticle says you can still play those, just not re-download on the same system it seems.
- 0_gravitas 1y agoah, very reasonable...
- RandomBacon 1y agoAgreed, and you shouldn't be downvoted for it, oh well.
- zahlman 1y agoMy current policy is that I simply will not pay money for a game that requires access to online services to function properly.
- npteljes 1y agoWhile not technically bricking, the restrictions are very heavy, especially considering that you can run into the situation innocently. Buying something with the possibility of this is a risk, and OP is very understandable for not liking this risk.
