Man loses Switch2 functionality over buying a used game
https://www.reddit.com/r/Switch/comments/1lut61s/switch_2_users_be_careful_buying_used_switch_1/
Man named Dmanthey purchased used switchgame off the Facebook marketplace, He put it in the Switch 2, and hit "update all" button.
Next day he turned it on. A message appears: "You are restricted from Nintendo's online services"
He proved he did nothing legally wrong by pulling up the Facebook Marketplace listing for games and sended the photos of purchased cartridges to Nintendo.
Nintendo finally agreed to re-open his Switch 2 but said "we removed the purchased and previously used games from your game list, do not buy used next time"
He got to keep those games he originally bought new by himself and which were registered only to his nintendo account and to no one elses.
Nintendo is known for being protective of its intellectual property and delivers harsh penalties to anyone caught violating it.
