    Not true. Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo can and do brick peoples systems, e.g. when they’re reported stolen or someone modifies their system. You rely on their goodwill every time you use the system or launch a game.

    And Switch game cartridges literally contain DRM lmao

    Nice job ignoring the rest of my comment.

      Tell me, how do you brick a system remotely if it’s not connected to the internet? Entertain me, please!

        Here in the real world, people connect their devices to the internet. This isn’t 2002. People connect their consoles to the internet, and OEMs can control them.

        Additionally, a lot of new games won’t run on these consoles unless you have an updated system.

        I see you again are not only moving goalposts, but you are also ignoring most of my comment.

        You going to answer anything? Untangle yourself from all the leaps you’ve made?
