The fact they can ban in the first place should be disquieting...

That song jibes with fixing most of the problems with gaming, quickly.

That's next level paranoïd. At my local library we can borrow Switch games, so if anyone use it to make a copy, then any following borrower could get a ban?

The fact that everything is moving from physical to digital makes it a lot easier for centralized companies to be able to do such a thing. Speaking specifically about video games, the actual physical games is like taking custody of your video game experience. I think this is partly the reason why there has been a resurgence in physical video game copies.

I read this and thought about GameFly.com . It is (maybe was) a great service. As far as I know, the only way to rent a game anymore. Could Nintendo do the samething and ban somebody who uses the GameFly service?

From what the article says, it's possible.
