I’m not against his sentence, it was well deserved. What bothers me is I personally know of cases in my hometown that people get a 2 year sentence on child abuse. I wish all punishments would justify the crime.
Some people never fail to baffle me. First off this site is a Nintendo Switch NEWS site..... This article like it or not is...... Yep you guessed it Nintendo Switch related news. I didn't see any glorifying to piracy. Some of y'all act like if you bury your heads in the sand big bad piracy will go away. How about looking at the bigger picture. How did they access the game? Are there flaws in the eShop we or Nintendo need to know about? Nintendo Life did their job they reported on Nintendo news. Don't like it don't click the story.
@Not_Soos used to all the time.. What phone are you on?? I know it sounds nuts but my keyboard was my problem. I was using Swiftkey, but switched back to Gboard and it quit.
Wow! If it was the first few months of the Switch life cycle I could understand the hesitation after the Wii U. The Switch has proved it strong legs right now. These devs are ridiculous, they need to strike while the iron is hot.
I am not so much concerned with crossplay. I am frustrated that they are looking YOUR EPIC account!!! Not Sony account EPIC account. That is BS. If I want to play with friends that play on PS4 I play on PS4. But to not be able to have my progress swap over is annoying. I'm not going to say next gen I will get an Xbox because we'll, I will not. PlayStation has the games that I like so I will be getting the next one. Hopefully by then they have their heads on right.
Yeah I'm not waiting. I really want to support development on the Switch, but with no timeframe given I'm getting it on PS4. It sounds like they are having development troubles. They could end up scrapping the project.
Are people seriously that butt hurt over a video game?? I wish I had time to stress about what characters I could play as in a game. These people probably live in their moms basement and shower like once a week.
Honestly I was hoping for more third party support. I figured more companies would try to Port games until they could get on a development cycle with the Switch. E3 was underwhelming from Nintendo for me. The Mech game is the only interest I have. Maybe Ark.. Smash is a maybe, but Nintendo better have some surprises up it's sleeve. 2018 seems to be turning into a dud.
@Brandonjordanva dude you really didn't read my posts at all. There is no way, or either you have trouble comprehending what you read.. My whole point is people would allow companies to ban people on the assumption they have the ability to carry out an act. Never once did I condone pirating games.
@Brandonjordanva dude I have moved past this one incident with this guy the article is talking about. I am speaking of these people who are commenting to ban people who are hackers. Read my post again. I agree with his ban.
@Brandonjordanva I did explain some of the perks of home brew. While I agree pirating should be met with consequences, some people are willing to let companies do anything to them. In his case yes the ban was justified, but if I have 2 Switch consoles and I hack one of them and do not pirate, just run home brew apps I do not feel Nintendo would have the right to refuse me service. As long as the modified console stayed off of their service I don't think it would be right. I mean Nintendo can refuse anyone they want to. They don't owe me an online experience, an eShop, or an update past what I purchased with the console. It could lead to bad things happening if we just allow these companies to do as they wish.
@Brandonjordanva ok I made a statement about iPhone and iPad so I am calling you out personally. I never in any of my post resorted to name calling. Yes if someone is stealing they should be banned and prosecuted I agree, but to ban someone just because they have a modified console is stupid!!! You must not know much about home brew... Yes you can pirate games, which I do not condone. There is also in that same community people who make their own games or modify games that THEY OWN on a console that THEY OWN! Not all hackers are pirates and pieces of trash. I'm not a hacker, but to go along with allowing a company to ban you as a person for having a modified system is a bad road to go down. If the guy stole and pirated then yes ban and prosecute him. To call for a ban on all known hacker accounts is madness.
These comments are killing me!! I see so many people saying yeah ban all the systems because he is a hacker and will hack again!!! Y'all ever watch Minority Report?? To pusnish someone because they have the ability to do so is outrageous! While the system in question was at one time modified I support Nintendo in banning said system, but will never agree to banning a person because they have another hacked system they paid for! What I'm hearing is that everyone who has a car that can break the speed limit and who have had a speeding ticket before needs to have their license taken away. Some people will lay down and let anything happen.
@8-Bit_Superman ok I will try to explain my line of thinking. If I PURCHASED two Nintendo Switch consoles they belong to ME, the way I see it is if I want to modify the system that I purchased then fine ban the modified console. I personally will not hack my console, but to ban a non hacked console is garbage. No one will change my mind on that. Would it be fair for Apple to kill your services on you iPhone because you jailbroke your iPad?
@Cherkov just read source since seeing your post earlier. Thanks for the clarification. Yes his system was at one point modified so therefore it is on him IMO. Hopefully they will update the article to reflect the update to the source. I am all for banning hacked consoles, but not a console that hasn't been hacked.
I'm down with banning hacked systems, but one that hasn't been tinkered with is not cool. There was no infraction on that system so how is there a punishment?
Well being the owner of a PlayStation Vita, I would not buy another Sony handheld. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy my Vita. Sony crapped all over us though. If it wasn't for the PS1 era RPG's I would hardly touch it.
I enjoy Wolfenstein. I will purchase at full price and not regret it one bit. I have enjoyed most of their games and I don't mind paying for entertainment.
@ThanosReXXX Kratos was Zues' son in the games. He was given power by the gods to kill Ares. The game was loosely based on Greek Mythology, mostly just using the characters.
I don't think it is coming to Switch, but I could see it being an E3 scale announcement from Nintendo. Unless Nintendo really has a couple of aces up their sleeves then this year will be decent. It will be hard for them to top last year's releases. They will have to lean on 3rd party games this year. Yes Smash is coming, but last year had Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Getting Bayonetta 2 physical. Don't know why still only in chapter 6 of XC2. Not even close to beating Skyrim, and week before last I bought FF XIV complete edition. Backlog is collosal.
Edit: Also getting RE Revelations 2 since it is on sale.
After playing World I would rather they build off of that and not waste time localizing XX. I tried playing it a couple of times as well as Generations on 3DS and IMO it isn't no where as good as World.
That sounds good in theory. What happens to third party support when Sony drops the PS5? They will be developing for a system that will be way more powerful than the Switch. Depending on the Switch install base by then they may develop separately for it, but no guarantees. Nintendo has great first party titles, but they will also need third party support to stay relevant.

Re: Nintendo Bans Online Services For Prominent Hacker's Switch Console
@HobbitGamer so if I hack a Switch and do not put it online or use it online and I don't pirate any games my other stock Switch should get banned?

@Brandonjordanva ok man. I have my perspective on things, just as your do. Enjoy allowing companies to do with you how they wish.

@Brandonjordanva also no your example is no where near what I'm talking about.
