The very tools that Nintendo is trying to take down with these DMCA requests can also be used to play games you bought on other platforms.

Of course, you could say exactly the same thing about Microsoft or Sony's hardware - the only difference is the Switch is more dated and its games run better on more devices.


This is is certainly not true for Sony. Ports for PlayStation games to the PC are notorious for running horribly and often never get fixed.
