According to Ars Technica, Switch and Switch 2 users who try to hack their consoles or play pirated copies of games may find their devices rendered completely inoperable by Nintendo. The warning was buried in a recent update to the Nintendo User Account Agreement, as first noticed by Game File. In this episode, hosts Paul John Spaulding, Kyle Haglund, VP, Audio Engineering at Cybercrime Magazine, and Sam White, Video Producer at Cybercrime Magazine, discuss their thoughts on what this means for the video gaming industry, whether it will curb piracy and hacking, and more. • For more on cybersecurity, visit us at https://cybersecurityventures.com
