Oh boy, so imagine this—you shell out nearly 500 bucks for a shiny new gaming console, only to find it’s now a fancy (and expensive) paperweight. This dude, Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs, faces this exact drama. He buys a used game — Bayonetta 3, off eBay. Turns out, whoever owned it before did some funky stuff, probably ripping the game, and bam, Nintendo ain’t having it.
So, now Quinn’s Switch 2 is more or less a $450 regret. He’s kinda miffed, tweets a warning, “Watch out for used games!” Seriously, who knew this could happen? I certainly didn’t! Nintendo’s like the gaming police, cutting off all digital fun on that thing, leaving Quinn with a very offline console. Methods to the madness, huh? Or maybe just madness.
Anyway, people on social media are yelling, “Hey, this isn’t rare! Nintendo does this if it smells anything fishy!” Crazy to think, but there you have it. Luckily, if you prove you’re no digital pirate and just a poor soul trying to play by the rules, Nintendo might just lift the ban. Fingers crossed for screenshots and receipts though!
Oh, and about that MIG Flash game stuff, Quinn’s been dabbling there too, using it to carry his entire library around without breaking a sweat (and claiming it’s totally innocent). I mean, can you blame him for wanting to hold onto his game stash non-stop? Seems these bits aren’t related, but hey — who can say for sure?
Let’s hope Mr. Snazzy gets back to gaming ASAP. Getting punished over buying games legit is pretty raw. Is this the universe saying, “Hey, buy direct!”? I got no clue, but the digital world can get real weird sometimes, can’t it?
