    It's actually even worse. I've bought games that were supposed to be brand new only to find out that despite being sealed, somebody had gotten into them and removed things that were supposed to be in them. Some stores have had controversies with opening all of their games and storing the discs/carts elsewhere as well. Meaning it is entirely possible for somebody to go out of their way to buy a new copy, only to find out later through being banned that some employee or something grabbed a used copy that had at one point been dumped, or potentially a new copy that they or another employee had used to dump a copy to upload online.

    This is a really great and very well explained video. 👍🏻 I do have a question about the situation where people might dump used games and sell them back to retailers. Couldn't this have also already been a problem with people using hacked Switches too? They can dump the games as well of course, so I would think this could've already been a potential risk with buying used games, though maybe at a smaller scale since it required hacking and/or modchipping & soldering work. This just also seems like a W for Nintendo as this will scare people away from the used market and force them to buy new, which will make Nintendo and devs more money vs buying used.

    • @Cyko..
      @Cyko.. Місяць тому +10

      The reason why copies downloaded off the internet work on modded Switches is because people who have modded Switches KNOW you don't go online with your emuNAND on your modded Switch. You will get banned. I see what you are saying, and I know that if I made a copy of my game so I could still play it and sell the physical copy to make a profit, I personally would not go online with my dumped copy. Why would I risk getting my own Switch banned?
      The problem here is that people unknowingly will buy a PHYSICAL copy from a 2nd hand store like eBay, Pawn shop, Game Stop, garage sale, etc of the game and think nothing about it, then go online with their normal unmodded legit Switch and poof, get banned because somewhere out there on the internets somebody else went online with a copy that had the same certificates like he mentioned in this video of the physical game.

    it's kinda funny that people are talking about this NOW that there's a public dumper (that doesn't require additional hacks or glitchchips on the console side), given that I predicted this years ago as soon as people found carts had a signed cart-unique CERT sector.
    although I was mainly thinking about trolls buying games, dumping CERT (without ever using it in their own console), returning the games, and then uploading the CERTs publicly some time later so N would ban the cart and thus any console using that CERT.
    i didn't think that people would be stupid enough to buy games, dump them, and return them, with a risk of their OWN console getting banned too if they ever went online with that dumped game later. but i guess i forgot about "think of the average person then realise 50% are dumber than that".

    When I’m typing this, I haven’t watched this specific video yet, but I have heard Jeff speak on this topic before, so here’s the TLDR version of how this effects you if don’t buy one (take this with a grain of salt)
    Here’s the scenario: Someone buys a Switch game; (legally, through Amazon, GameStop, etc.). They dump their game with the device shown (completely legally, as Nintendo allegedly allows this for emulators). They then return their game they bought (to Amazon, GameStop, etc.). Then, Amazon, GameStop, etc. sells these games as reused (unaware someone dumped this specific copy, with this specific ID (while for an example, I’ll use 420). The person buys the ID:420 game, (which someone else dumped), then you use the legally bought game on your switch. Nintendo sees, “hey this person is using ID:420 game, but that person (the one who dumped and returned it) has already been using it, so this person (the who bought it reused), but must be hacking. Then they ban the person who just bought it reused…
    So…… be careful buying used games (or just DONT anymore)…

    One thing that isn't discussed is what will have with sealed Switch game prices. I own a few expensive Switch games like Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and TMNT Radical Edition. Already they're going for insane prices but a few years from now and maybe the demand for clean, sealed games which won't lead to a ban will only increase. That wasn't my intention when I bought these games but was just busy and never got around to playing them. Even if Nintendo reissues games for the upcoming Super Switch, that used, cheap game market for the Switch is broken.

  • @IsaacG8

    Okay, so I have 1 modded switch and one unmodded. The modded one is used to play my legally owned games offline with cheats. Say what you will about cheat codes, but sometimes they make gameplay that was originally tedious or grindy, enjoyable. My unmodded switch is used to play games with my friends online.
    Because I have a modded switch and a 1tb micro sd, I know how easy it is to dump games. For this reason, I never purchase used Switch games, and I never lend my Switch games out. If there is any ambiguity to the origin of a Switch cart I'm going to play, I'll use my modded switch (which is always offline).
    Now that game dumping is even more accessible (before you needed a modded switch and only certain models were moddable), I imagine these issues with used games will only get worse.

    I hope there will be a dumper for 3DS games that will be as simple as this one. I noticed some games don't work anymore. Would be great to have some m-discs with backups of my games. Nintendo should do something about this, it's their security system that doesn't work anymore. You can't ban people who are legally using their devices and legally purchased games.

    ya gotta think that retailers are going to push nintendo to do something about the ban issue.

    Was the banned console banned for using the legit cart only or did it use the MiG Switdh as well?
    The only way to tell if a ban is due to a duplicate game card and not the MiG Switch is to have never used it on the banned console that way a copied used game can be guaranteed to be the ban cause.
    Using the MiG Switch at all and having a ban from a dupe card does not rule out the MiG Switch itself as the cause.

    This will affect both the person that copied the used game and they one buying used game. Why, because they also can be banned as well so it's not just the buyers of used game but the person whom cheated to get money for the game. So it's a double edge sword so if you backup and play and sell the "cart" game be careful what you wish for as you will also get banned as well. This is the part those talking about the "Dumper" don't tell people.

    iirc backing up games in the States isn't legal if you have to break/bypass DRM to do it. In Canada it's a bit more of a grey area I believe (just don't profit off it, share it, or cost Nintendo any damages and you can't really be punished) but I'm not anything close to a lawyer, so take this comment with a few pounds of salt.

      That's true for any media here in the US. Legal unless you are breaking or bypassing means to prevent it, but I don't think this particular section of the DMCA was ever tested in the courts.
      Take a look at movies and TV shows. A lot of people now are setting up their own private use home media servers and dumping rips or their blu-ray and DVD collection to it giving them access to blu-ray quality content at the convenience of streaming. Heck, there are videos here on UA-cam describing the process and the software to use to rip them.

I believe the closest thing to case law we have for that is Universal v. Corley (which is over 23 years old at this point), but that was (based on my limited understanding) more about whether the DeCSS ban was a violation of free speech rather than whether DeCSS was fair use.

And used games are pretty much off the table now so im gonna be spending mad cash to get 2nd copies of some of my games. I know its probably stupid but tbh its for peace of mind knowing the physical back ups and digital games are different and I have no chance of being banned. Granted im not doing this with every game. Just the ones i really like and ones with a lot of mods.

      I'd imagine that is safe currently, but there's no guarantee it stays that way. Nintendo could update the Switch to track offline game usage and upload the certificates and their timestamps the next time you are online and then ban certificates with overlapping timestamps.
      That said, that would be a significant development and upkeep cost to maybe catch some people when the fear of used games might be enough to discourage most people.
