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?
to their credit, they did later unban him and apparently the process wasn't too painful
The fact they can ban in the first place should be disquieting...
yeah, it's all a bit gross, but quite on-brand for nintendo

We are close to a future where these companies can start banning us for using hardware that belongs to us!

From what the article says, it's possible.
The song that starts playing in my head when I read of things like this happening in gaming
view on youtu.beThat song jibes with fixing most of the problems with gaming, quickly.
