!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Yeah, if you pirate and whatever... fair enough. Don't expect Nintendo to want to deal with you. But at least you know that is the risk you're taking.
The other group of people this will impact are those who dump (legally) their own games so that they don't have to swap out carts all the time. It's also going to suck for those who pick up a second hand console to find that their online access is restricted. I don't see an issue with Nintendo blacklisting a device from their services should it go against their ToS, but this just seems way too easy of a trap to walk into.
Imagining pirating a PC game and then never being allowed on the internet again...
