Isn't the new switch internet tied? I thought the carriages for the Switch 2 were just digital licenses.
There are digital license versions from what I understand, and then there are full-fat versions. Unless something has changed.
That STILL doesn't make the "they'll brick your switch!" thing true. If the hardware can be hacked, then it's still usable.
"Bricked" has a very special, specific meaning - generally that the lowest level firmware is completely unworkable, and you cannot use the system at all - no screen, no buttons, no lights, nothing.
If you can fire the thing up, and it log into a network, and then tell you that you've been banned from Nintendo Online and refuse certain functionality -- You've been banned, not bricked.
