    Imagine if this happened to a child, or someone who’s got no knowledge about the topic. Your 600$ birthday gift will just rest in piss, because you bought a game someone had cloned previously, and there’s 0 way to know about it, until you’re already banned

      Yeah, nobody buying used games will know that it was previously used for cloning. Hopefully they ease off on the bans until they can figure out a better idea on how to deal with MIG Switch.

        There shouldn’t need to be a better way. There are lots of places where using a MIG cart is legal to download games you have already purchased from the physical cartridge.

        It’s bullshit that they have somehow normalized the idea that they have the right to do this to paying customers in the first place.
