@Wckdlink You are making the assumption that you are somehow smarter and like you have read all of the terms for all products and services that you use. I actually find it hilarious how up in arms you are.
To follow your lead, I would assume that you are incapable of hacking and modding and therefore lash out at others more capable than yourself.
No one has time to review all these Bs terms that we agree to. I review them for my job and they are not a quick read and are open to interpretation with the ambiguous nature of many companies writing.
@Wckdlink Ok, so by your logic, we should never innovate or strive for greater than what we are given. Nintendo, and other large corporations, loves customers like you.
When people buy products, they should be able to do what they want with them, within the bounds of not affecting the manufacture or others. If the browser or media player is poor or non-existent, I should be able to add my own, as the owner of the hardware that I bought. I don't know many people that think in their mind that consoles and games are not theirs, and that they are only renting them from the corporations.
Now, if people aim to hack to cheat in games and ruin the platform for others, steal games content, or other nefarious usages, then Nintendo has some right to fight back, but from what I am hearing, this is a blanket ban for all modders/hackers.
@electrolite77 ""They release the same games each console, refuse to give a proper vc"
What? So they release too many old games, but not enough old games?"
They release Mario games constantly with a single new feature and call it a new game, or they re-release old Mario games and ask you to buy it every generation, instead of allowing you to buy one copy that carries with you through your consoles. All of the consoles can be guilty of this, but it doesn't give them a pass.
They don't understand how to give customers a satisfying experience, nor how to give us original experiences.
@Wckdlink You are missing the point. Players want certain features to exist, and Nintendo fails to listen to their player base. That is how these mods gain traction. These are really modders that we are talking about, not "hackers". From your comments, it seems like you are a fanboy and that I will not have a productive conversation with you.
@Wckdlink These aren't the main types of hacks being discussed. People hack the system to enable features that Nintendo has neglected to add, even with vast community feedback.
Banning secondary systems is a bit ridiculous. I know plenty of people that have hacked older systems to give new life to them. It would be a shame if they start banning new systems, like switch, from people that only hacked 3ds or Wii.
Nintendo has become a stale and uninteresting company. They release the same games each console, refuse to give a proper vc, recreate old games as new, and rarely create new franchises.
