Nintendo Switch 2's EULA Grants Nintendo the Power to Brick Your Console
2025-05-11
Nintendo's updated user agreement for the upcoming Switch 2 grants the company the power to remotely brick users' consoles. If users violate the agreement, such as by modifying system software or bypassing security measures, Nintendo can permanently disable the console. This clause is controversial as it grants Nintendo significant control over hardware that users own. While likely targeting piracy and modding, the vague wording raises concerns, with Nintendo possessing ultimate interpretation power. This isn't just about online play restrictions; it could disable offline functionality, rendering the console worthless.
