- Nintendo has updated its user agreement in the United States and the United Kingdom
- In the United States, he now indicates that Nintendo could brick your console due to unauthorized use
- In the United Kingdom, your digital software could be deactivated
Nintendo has updated its user agreement, hardening its position on those who hack the games, try to imitate titles or otherwise modify their consoles.
The changes have been announced in an email distributed to users in the United States and applies to all existing and new Nintendo accounts. The game file reports that the agreement has received just over 100 modifications.
Some of the most interesting changes include a massive expansion of a game that indicated that players “are not allowed to rent, rent, underlink, to copy, to modify, to adapt, to translate, to disintegrate, to decompile or to disassemble any or otherwise or to any part of the law applicable to Nintendo.”
NOW, It Says that: “Without Limitation, You agree that you may not (a) publish, copy, modify, reverse engineer, lease, back, decompile, disassemble, distributing, offered for dirty, or derivative create works of any portion of the nintendo, modify, modify Decrypt, Defeat, Tamper with, OR Otherwise Circumvent Any of the Functions of the Nintendo Account Services, Including Through The Use of any hardware or software that would operate the Nintendo account services other than in accordance with its documentation and its planned use;
Nintendo now spends exactly what you are not allowed to do. Be prohibited to “get around, modify, decrypt, defeat, alter” with parts of the system completely excludes activities such as installing your own Homebrew applications. The fact that you are unable to “obtain, install or use unauthorized copies of Nintendo account services” also highlights more than any type of software hacking is not authorized.
As for what could happen if you violate these rules, the agreement now indicates: “You acknowledge that if you do not comply with previous restrictions, Nintendo can make the Nintendo account services and / or the Nintendo device permanently applicable unusable in whole or in part.”
This describes Nintendo’s ability to brick your device (making it “unusable permanently”) if you do not adhere to the agreement. The company could also potentially deactivate certain functions (make unusable “in part”), which could, for example, prevent cheaters from accessing online services in games.
The agreement has also been updated in the United Kingdom, although the new wording is less drastic. Players in the region now accept: “All digital products recorded on your Nintendo account and any update of these digital products are only under license for personal and non -commercial use on a user device.”
“Digital products should not be used for other purposes.” Such unauthorized use of a digital product can ensure that the digital product becomes unusable. “
These agreements are currently applied to the Nintendo Switch, but, unless the change in launch would probably regulate your use of the next Nintendo Switch 2. In this perspective, it would be wise to read the new terms carefully and to ensure that you do not end up with
