The original cart doesn't get banned, only the copies. The whole "banned used cart" thing is just click bait.

Switch has been hacked, cart games are being dumped. Pirated copies get the switch banned if you go online. This is all obvious. The problem is that click bait articles all jumped the gun and started claiming the original cart gets banned too and that used games were no longer safe to buy, this is false.

Less obvious, apparently you can get banned if you go online and have a Homebrew error log on your system. So basically if you've ever run homebrew on your system at this point.

Fuck nintendo.

I'd never pirate a game. But it rubs me the wrong way that they want to ban SWITCH SYSTEMS for a pirated cart. You bought the system, you paid money for it, it's yours. Who are they to prohibit you from using your system?

They don't brick your system, just ban it from the online services IIRC.

So what if someone buys a pirated game without realizing it? The hardware is banned from online forever? Do they still not have anything account based?

This. If there are really are hacked carts which are getting people banned, then there are going to be counterfeit games sold on ebay that will get end up getting people banned.

It exist no pirated cartridges, you use microSD cards.
And if you are so stupid so you manage to jailbreak the console and buy microSD cards instead of real game...

The original cart is still banned from online if two identical certificates are ever detected online at the same time.

No that's not what they're talking about. People will put the hacked cart into the case and sell it back to gamestop used. Or, you know, just not put it back in the case at all since GameStop will take it as-is without the case.

This argument has been used for over 20 years.

They're not disabling your system. They're banning you from their online network.

The only issue could be potentially if someone buys a card they think is legitimate, but is actually a clone. They'd get banned inadvertently.

There's absolutely no way they'll really do the system ban thing. Too easy to get a fake cart without knowing.

The issue here isn't fake carts. There's no hacked or cloned carts yet.

Each game has a unique identifier on it. When it goes online, that's logged.

This issue isn't really affecting pirates in the traditional sense since pirated games are already banned. It's for those that dump their own games and then eventually sell it. If two of the same identifier is ever detected, it's blocked from ever going online again.

It's not an easy fix because Nintendo would have to replace the cart if someone buys it used and they get stuck and call Nintendo. Because by unblocking it for the new customer, it would also unblock the dumped copy.

Best option is simply to ban that game and its unique ID from online. Not an account or a system.

3ds games are counterfeited all the time. Nearly 10% of the used market are actually counterfeit carts.
You literally cant tell the difference without thouroughly checking it.
This will end up being a massive issue for nintendo over time if true.

They do a multi stage ban. First they ban your physical system and software, then they ban the account information linked to that system. That ban then carries on even if you wipe the system and sell it to someone and they have a clean account (they get banned), and also carries on if you use your banned account on another system (Switch gets banned as well). Not sure if they go so far as to ban your credit card info or anything.
