Gamestop you can return the console, ebay, rule of thumb is never to buy 2nd hand hardware without someone intermediary that takes the fall (like gamestop)

Nintendo bans some Splatoon 2 players who hacked in Octolings and used them online
- Thread starter Pablo Mesa
- Start date
Dont buy second hand machine then? You own up your own risk when you purchase second hand machine.
If you dont want to had chance of buying a banned machine, then buy a brand new ones.
This sound like early Xbox one MS.
I think in that case the full responsability goes to the console reseller, they should check the consoles they buy.
Just using the word toxic isn't going to make your statement true. It isn't harmless when taken online. People work hard to afford their games and what seems harmless now will be harmful when they figure out how to hack invisibility, etc
Fuck 'em. If they're hacking in this then they could be hacking unobtainable weapons. Consider that this is also something that they will want to ban people for in other games. Epic won't be happy if people are hacking Fortnite to wear cosmetics that are behind paywalls

Lol. Early Xbone is worst lol. They literally told you to buy older machine like 360 lol.
This is totally on the consumer hand. He can purchased the platform free from all this problem for 300 bucks or he can take risk of getting a banned platform by buying it second hand on ebay for 200 bucks. It is totally all his choice.
Hope they are all banned to the point they can't play anything online and have to buy a new console.
Hackers/cheaters won't stop. They never stop. They just look for new ways to get away with it. Have to ban their console.

I have no problem with people getting banned. Don't fucking hack and then parade your hacked weapons and content around like a jackass. No one blinks when someone commits a fraud or steals out of a store and gets banned. Let them be forever offline or pony up 300 bucks for a new console.
These asshats now wanna cry about the ban being too harsh? Wouldn't it be a real nice if we can commit any offense and - even if caught - get away with a mere slap on the wrist? Get real, you wet wipes!
You gotta make examples out of these people. That's the only reasoning they understand.
Upon banning the consoles, they should all:
- Spontaneously combust!
- Nintendo reps should be dispatched to the scene in haz-mat gear.
- Gather the console ashes into a secure air-tight container.
- Load container unto a rocket.
- Once orbited, fire the container into the surface of the sun.
- Solar flares should erupt from the sun spelling the phrase "LoL idiots!" for the inhabitants of the earth to see.
But hey, I guess I'll have to settle for the perma-ban. ;p

I think they should ban consoles, ban the associated accounts (forfeiting any digital purchases), ban any other accounts that were on the console that was banned, if it was a physical game ban the game cards that were used the the game being hacked, and create a category of firmware that for banned consoles that blocks the console from playing future release titles.
Go ham. Hack an online game, you have to buy a whole new console, game card and create a new account if you want to start again, and your previous console becomes worthless. Hey you'll still have a dock and joycons you can use with the new console you have to buy, not a total loss, cheater.

I think console ban is extreme but necessary in some cases. Perhaps a strike rule of more than one hack then console id is banned. If consoles are banned then a system needs to be put into place so Gamestop and other used trade companies are not getting dud units and pushing them back out into the world.
Idk how the Switch's security is set up, but I know systems like the Vita had it so that you had to get the latest firmware update in order to play newer games. If you're system banned, that could stop you from being able to access newer games unless you're not locked from firmware updates.
The easiest way to solve this problem is for chains like Gamestop to mandate and implement a system in which they check a console to see if its locked. If so, they can deny trade-ins from consumers. It's amazing how they don't do simple shit like this to avoid losing money.
GameStop should test units when buying. It wouldn't take long to get on wifi and boot up the eshop.
If all a hacker is doing is changing their character model I don't think they should be banned for it, it's really on Nintendo to make sure only people who have purchased the expansion can use those models.
If they're hacking to get any sort of unfair advantage then of course they should be banned.

what measure does gamestop even take before buying a console off of someone? i can't imagine they do much more than see if it boots up
so many people here acting like they didnt know they were walking past that line. Chill, they knew what they were doing, they will get a new account if they care.
Nintendo don't earn any money from second hand sales though, am I right? Therefore they probably don't really care about that.
I kinda want to post nice or sweeeeeet on that tweet lol.
Well deserved tho never use hacks online.
Non online (singleplayer) hacks are fine by me tho but once you use em online get banned. It's unfair for peeps that play legit.

One of the main reasons I moved from PC gaming to console gaming was due to cheaters ruining the PC online experience.
Nintendo should show no mercy. If people are willing to hack cosmetics, they will be willing to hack weapons, abilities, etc.
Let em burn.

So it's more convenient for you, so they shouldn't put it back in the game itself? I'm not arguing for its removal of the app, I'm arguing for its inclusion into the base game, seeing how it's a core function of the game. The current way enough people won't be able report people by the simple fact that either don't have/use/know the app, are still rocking a Windows Phone or don't even have a smartphone at all.
Actually the joy-cons have their own firmware, so they could potentially brick those too. I'd be fine with that, hackers should be nuked into the sun at the slightest offence in my opinion.

That's the 'Keep playing Splatoon 1 on the Wii U because that place is the wild west' option.
Not available because why would anyone with common sense choose it?
Bingo, also if you buy a banned console without the seller disclosing it, that's fraud. On eBay you can get your money back easy in cases like that, likewise in stores.
Maybe someone in here can help me with this.
I just bought a Switch again tonight after selling mine a few months back. (Hoozah!)
Guy gave me a great deal, and it came with something called "Power Save Portal" and apparently it has something to do with Amibos,
Is that how they were hacking the Squids?

Any person who uses even one single cheat once in one online videogame should have both the console itself and the account permanently banned from any online mode in any videogame ever released for the console.
I'm not against hacking the console, but cheaters? Fuck them in every way possible.

I wonder how they're detecting this in a p2p environment. Either these people did it too much & got reported, or there is some security layer people just haven't noticed yet.
In the original Xbox days, people who hacked could go on stuff like Halo without any fear at all.
If they hack it themselves (not just downloading a tool) they are cooler. Everyone else is just spending $20. Not cool.
