apparently some people who sold hacks for the switch are being charged with 11 felonies. what a complete fucking joke. this is so fucking emblematic of the fact corporations want to destroy our ability to own things that we buy. if you buy something, it can only be sold once. but if you lease it. if you rent it. if you have a subscription service. if your video game is a live service. that's steady income, that's continuous, and that's good for investors, which is good for your stock price, which is the sole reason you exist as a corporation. to raise that line and divy out money to investors.
why shouldn't I be allowed to flash custom software onto a piece of hardware I purchased? because they own the rights to the hardware? okay but I bought it. it's mine. I'm not editing every single one, I'm not reselling a switch with a custom OS, I'm editing something which is MINE.
this is just like how John Deere tried to make the argument that people can't own property, only lease it, and that only companies can truly own property. they did this to justify their tight controls over farmers being ALLOWED to REPAIR their FARM EQUIPMENT.
corporations want you to be a constant supply of money, they want every fucking dollar you have, and then they want more next quarter. it is not, never will be, and can never be enough for these institutions, and this economic system.
