Is it safe to use MIG Switch for pirating? (lemmings.world)

I have a MIG Switch and a few pirated games, though I'm afraid it will ban my account, including games I've bought.

I don't use Switch anymore due to philosophical reasons, so it's probably not a huge deal, but it would probably still piss me off, because I spent some money there.

Do you think it could be mitigated by resetting the switch to the factory settings and never logging in?

I never said there was anything wrong with that, I have pirated multiple terabytes of various stuff including Nintendo games (though I play them on my Deck).

I was just explaining what your "philosophical" (🙄) reasons were.

Also you could just sell the switch if you don't like Nintendo. Don't pretend that you are forced to pirate or something.

I pay for my content on basically every other platform. I have a hacked pirate switch because Nintendo's business practices are particularly obnoxious.

Is it "justified"? Fuck if I care. But they're the only games I don't legally acquire, and it's because they're jackasses.

Personally I don't give a shit about justifying my piracy. There are a lot of people in this sub that can't do anything else.

Stop projecting, maybe? No, I'm not forced. But I want to, because I refuse to pay any more money to such a shitty company. I paid for the product, now I'm gonna use it the way I want to.

Price is not my reason for pirating. Seriously, people are different from you, stop assuming that everyone has the same motivation as you do.

Sure dude.

I paid for the product, now I'm gonna use it the way I want to.

Well obviously you are too scared to do that, lol.

P.S. If you dislike Nintendo don't buy their products in the future and just pirate on a PC
