I am getting slowly convinced that the only role of a government is to bully the hell out of the corporations to get em to do what the public demands.

Just don't pirate games on the switch 2. Create an emulator and pirate them on PC

>>715739287 (OP)
They're not disabling it, they're banning you from online access

Thats exactly the point, government is to represent to majority of people and enforce it. Why is it people don't realize this?

>be nation of corpo bootlickers
>get treated as such

>>715739892
Good to know the taxes are being put to use.

>>715739287 (OP)
Im keeping my switch 2 offline anyway so that when jailbreaks come out I can hack it and get free games.
I havent connected it to the internet at all.

>Why is it people don't realize this?
amerigolems were poisoned with decades of "government BAD and must be dismantled" and it worked very very well

Its a power balance
You dont want either corpos or government being too strong, you have to balance things.

Too much government bad
Not enough government also bad.

>>715739892
Anon. You do know that Americans also pay sales tax, you know that right? It's just they don't have it already calculated onto their goods. I still don't understand how American's shop when none of the things they buy have the right price on them.

Why are we going through this shit again, this was posted non-stop for 2 weeks straight after the EULA was updated before then.
It's not brand new news all of a sudden.

>>715740562

lol maybe 10-20 years ago

>>715740709
I make it myself because my country has all the supplies in the world due to being the most important economic trade partner any country can have.

What now, serf?

>Cops can arrest you if you break the law

Just don't break the law.

Answer the question.
You can also say how much you pay for 12 eggs, 1 liter of milk or 1kg of flour

>>715740690
again you're in no position to act like you're any better off

>euro bringing up egg prices

At least check on this shit before you try to own me with your eggs that are at their highest price in a decade.

>>715739736
And? Corporations have slowly been taking away consumer rights so it's not that surprising consumers have started fighting back

>>715741014
I'm gonna consensually tongue chitwoods asshole, it's alleged that he wants this and I'm happy to oblige.

>Switzerland VAT is 8%
>Prices for almost anything are over 3 or 4 times the price in Spain with a VAT of 21%
>In the US, with states with no VAT, most food prices are usually twice as expensive as in europe and for a much less healthier food
Not everything revolves around the VAT, bro, but it's useless arguing about this with an americuck.

>>715741048
Half a percent, and it comes with an acre of land, central AC and real pipes so i dont need a shit bucket next to my toilet too.i know those things are scarce for homes in Europe but you just have to make due with your cuck shed.

>>715739797
Sorry, you posted this too late. Now no one will read it and the thread will get at least 300 replies.

Not going to buy a switch 2 anyway.
Emulators for the switch 2 will be a thing in the next few years soon anyway.

>12 eggs for 2,80 euros in carrefour
What is the average price for a dozen eggs in the US?
And have in mind that the 2.80 has the 10% VAT applied

>>715739287 (OP)
what if you're using a european account on an american or japanese device
do they disable any non-european accounts on the device and the eur account stays good?

Recently had a talk with a highly educated dude who really believed china has gone completly green energy and when i told him china opens up a new coal plant every week to stop believing fake news.

>>715739892
This the max rate, services and certain products have reduced or non existent VAT

>>715739287 (OP)
Just buy your games like normal people and don't try to hack your console, and if you hack into your console, just don't play online. Pretty simple.

>>715742018
switch 2 has a build in system to freeze the system after a certain amount of time if it has not been connected to the internet to check with nintendo server.

>>715741634
When the US was doing that we got transistors, radios ,cars, rockets to the fucking moon.

Now we got phones, phones with wheels, phones with fridge, phones with toasters...

>>715742179
At least is not as bad as sony, once they find you are hacking they delete your account and all your games are lost

>>715741748
Definitely needs a 2025 update given even Canada basically has given the middle finger to the USA.

>>715739287 (OP)
idk it's not that interesting, this seems about par for the course, europe makes proper consumer protections, us doesn't. that's why something like skg actually has a path to success in europe but they're not even trying here.

>>715740709
nta but a basic loaf of wheat bread which is what i usually get runs about $1.25ish at aldi or the local overstock store.

>>715742343
Whataboutism is such a weak response.
We are talking about nintendo here, not about the crimes against gamers that sony and other big companies do.

>>715739892
This is the reason why we have free healthcare, welfare to pay for housing and food and all sorts of free services for the benefit of the citizens.

Must suck living in a third world country

>>715740169
Exactly what I've been saying for the last decade. Any sufficiently large conglomeration of power is prone to begin abusing it, and people benefit the most when the most powerful entities absolutely despise each other

>>715742552
>i have to pay a shitload of taxes, but i get FREE services!
You're literally paying for it, and probably overpaying for it.

Do any of you actually eat eggs?

>>715740239
>how American's shop when none of the things they buy have the right price on them.
By rounding up heavily. Yes it's annoying and insulting desu. America is a great country but the sales tactics around here are designed to take advantage of idiots. I know of no other country that frames a purchase as somehow practically giving you money. I might spend less compared to another place but I'm not saving, I'm goddamn spending. And don't get me started on bundle tactics.

>>715743059
Had me an egg n cheeser with tomato and avocado for lunch today

>>715742896
I live off of taxes, I am not funding the system
Are you that desperate to pay 20 times your salary for healthcare?

>>715740086
Hopefully never.

>>715739892
There are tiers for that and food is usually about half, or around 10%

>>715744706
>on a board about technology, video games, consoles, and PCs
>B-BUT THE HECKING FOODERINO

>>715740239
Yeah we have at max 10 ish percent depending on the state. Most states are around 8%
Some states have no sales tax.

Not fucking 25%

>>715744945
Half your salary goes to property tax and tips. If you ever have to call an ambulance you will literally go bankrupt.

>>715743868
I don't think either of the systems is good.
Public hospitals that you pay instead of getting "for free" is probably the best compromise.
Or private hospitals being bullied by the goverment to keep the prices fair.

>>715739892
Trianon was a mistake

>>715740709
8-22 dollars per for real bread depending on kind and size

>>715741642
redraw this with the chad letting the stink blow out of his pits into the turdmericans face to make them gag.

Even Nintendo probably won't actually do this. And if they do, I highly doubt it will hold up in any court.

>>715746280
27% is on the fat gypsy alone.

Not even the evil Nintendo can do anything against Europe.

>Ameritards still thinking we don't have those too

>>715739892
if I get sick I get taken care of even if I'm not a millionaire
my food isn't stuffed full of poisons
I can go to university without ending up in debt for life
I have worker's rights
my government isn't (entirely) owned and controlled by corporations
our children are several orders of magnitude less likely to be murdered in school
my president is not a pedophile rapist

I'll happily pay an extra 21% for shit, everything else on the list is more important
And no my country isn't perfect, far from it, but it's definitely a less shitty place to live in than the united states of corporatocracymerica

>>715741642
Where does this retarded meme that Europe doesn't have AC come from? I have AC. Almost everyone I know has AC. I can count AC units on neighboring buildings by the dozens.

>>715739287 (OP)
I don't wanna defend Nintendo, but it's kinda weird that all the people claiming that Nintendo bricked their systems for using it normally end up getting revealed to have used the MIG Switch...

except that one guy who just named themselves Twink Link. That was a dumb reason to permaban someone.

>>715740320
at this point the world is in such a sorry state and the future is so grim I'm not sure getting to live longer is really a good thing

EULAs have never been legal in the EU. They're literally just made up shit.
Multiple companies have been sued and gone out of business for this.

Welcome to the real world, kiddos.

What happened to the "land of the free"?

>>715740462
death by random car, industrial accident, coal pollution, tianamen square, angry farmer civil war, pooed-in-face-by-pajeet, collapsing building made of styrofoam "concrete" and rubber "rebar" inhalation of paint to make mountains look green, born as woman, is not counted anon.

>gets shot by some demented teenager while at the grocery store

>>715750774
I don't think Nintendo should be able to disable people's physical property over modifications. Yeah, it's used for piracy, but so what? eBay turbo kits are used for street racing but I don't see Honda remotely shutting down cars over it

>>715751507
It's more that people keep being super disingenuous and lying about the reasons that makes me not want to defend them.

>>715751105
Nintendo is free to do whatever they want with the thing you gave them money for.

>>715739773
>Just don't buy a switch 2. Create an emulator and pirate them on PC

people have been banned for buying used games that have been dumped
