Nintendo issues cease and desist for Switch modchip installation

[dlevere]

“All I'm doing is putting the solder on,” says installer, who doesn't sell the chips.

"Through the mod service you are offering, you literally break open a customer's Nintendo Switch, and then solder the SX Core and SX Lite into the console," Stein writes. "By offering to the public an installation service for the modchips, you are offering a service that is primarily designed to circumvent Nintendo's measures and thus violating the DMCA."

It's their hardware and they can do what they please.

Although I respect Nintendo for not bowing down to SJW's and their censorship agenda, they have shown time and again they will use force if they think they are losing $$$.
