>make it so using unbranded media will violate the warranty

Picture not related (though I guess Nintendo could have done that).

Consumer protection laws?

Eh yeah, at most only this.

What a hori thing to do

w8 wat? nintendo switches dont use standard micro sd card?

National law of many place. And no laws or no laws yet (but it'll be changed in a year if you do it) in other places. What else?

In America at least it wouldn't invalidate your warranty. You have the right to replace parts in a device you own without the entire warranty being revoked I believe.

> >make it so using unbranded media will violate the warranty
It's possible, but it doesn't solve anything. If the price difference is too high, people will neglect a warranty. Damn, they travel to China to solder new memory chips to their iPhones because it's cheaper and you talk about warranty violations.

That shit won't fly in most countries. But this seems so plausible for Nintendo to do.

Why is it the more against your rights a company is, the more rabid fans there are? Nintendo fans are a lot worse than the typical Apple fan.

Wtf is this thread??? Why would Nintendo want to allow people to pirate their games? Who the fuck cares about the warranty?
