Do not forget that they can brick your console if your not playing it right, and that is now in the ToS, which they trick people to agree to. You do not own your purchase of the device or the games, you own the license to use it and they have the right to destroy it at any time.

If you have the mail, read the private policy, or heck just click on the consumer rights wiki which points to where it states they can do what they want with this.

The test ground for this started back in 2018, and this is another wilki which explains it. These 3rd party docks looked to resolve the overhearing design floor in the original switch which warped the board, and killed the system in the N official dock.

[URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence[/URL] As we have to look at something called mean time to failure for devices, so that we replace them on time, which in business is important to stay in business. This can depend on the advertised length of the warranty related to the device (HDDS as one example), and what the company has to adhere to in consumer rights, which when your buying in volume, the company wants to be reliable to sell more. And ultimately, this is why it is important that consumers do not put up with poor practice, as they will keep escalating the practice.
