- Nintendo updated its user agreement to allow bricking consoles for various violations.
- Violations include tampering with hardware/software, playing backup or used games, and using third-party accessories.
- Bricked consoles lose internet access, eShop, online play, game downloads, and security patches permanently.
- Nintendo has already enforced these bans, affecting users who unknowingly purchased bricked consoles or used second-hand cartridges.
- The Free Software Foundation criticizes DRM and advocates for user rights to copy, study, and modify software.
