Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.
I’m not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?
“You can’t all sue us” clauses need to be thrown out and criminally punished.
EULAs in general are unenforceable bullshit. “By buying this object you agree to–” Nope! I can’t make a contract with an object. Certainly not with one I already bought and own.

So like only people who got them as gifts?
