> The site was known for selling devices that allowed users to get around Nintendo's piracy protections, including the popular MIG Switch flashcart that lets buyers play official Nintendo games without the need for a physical cartridge.
These cartridges have also made the used Switch game cartridge market into a minefield. You never know if your cart has been cloned or not.
I understand why they'd take action against something like this, but at the same time, people should have a right to modify the devices they bought and paid for in any way they want to. Saying "well someone could use this for piracy" doesn't justify punishing the law abiding users, too, and I don't think the manufacturer should be the arbiter of if you're allowed to use their product in any terms. This definitely isn't worth ruining someone's life over with massive tort claims, either.
