Then don't buy one.
Also, the panicky "Nintendo will break your Switch 2 to make you buy a Switch 3"... sigh. Just think for a second before writing stuff like that.
Why on earth are peolle posting stuff in a Nintendo sublemmy when they obviously think the worst of the company? This is worse than reddit.
Its good to be hyper critical of megacorporations
And I never said the contrary.
Not really. People on Lemmy are paranoid. Not saying that corporations are not assholes looking to maximize how much of your money they are getting but they are not out to hurt you. Believe it or not, corporations actually want consumers to like them. Most corporate actions are not evil, they are caused by workers being lazy and cutting corners.
What seems more likely? Nintendo testing remote bricking of systems on customers instead of QA or Nintendo OS developers not having firmware ready by the time manufacturing started (and IT scrambling last minute to bring up update servers in time for launch).
Considering they have never done this with any of their previous consoles, and the fact that the original switch launched in March 2017, they have no excuse in terms of "being rushed."
