📜 Full Transcript
Imagine getting your hands on the new Nintendo Switch 2 and then the console becoming permanently disabled as an intended feature. Sound like a parallel universe hell? Well, it’s actually in the new terms and conditions. The new T’s and C’s state that Nintendo has the right to permanently disable your devices and ban your Nintendo account, save files and all, if they believe you’re breaching any of their rules, which include transferring your games onto a digital platform or backing up your own save files manually on a third party system. In what might just be the biggest step back in consumer rights I’ve seen from Nintendo in the history of this channel, I got to admit, even I didn’t see this one coming. So, will the new T’s and C stop you forking out the substantial cash needed for the new console, or are you not worried about such things, or at least getting caught for them? Let me know down in the comments. [Music]
