I stopped playing Nintendo products (on any platform, including my Switch) years ago and haven't really missed much. They put out good games, sure, but there are tons of good games available on other platforms where buying them isn't supporting a company that abuses the legal system to harass and imprison innocent people.

“Innocent”.

Reality (and the courts) disagree with you.

Just because something is a law doesn't make it just.

Who said anything about justice? You're moving the goalposts.

If you're talking about Bowser, the only thing they convicted him of is "conspiracy" to do things that shouldn't be illegal [1]. All the other charges were dropped. If you think "conspiring" to sell modchips is a crime worthy of prison I don't know how to convince you that we should have a fair and just legal system. It was a plea, too, and anyone who knows the legal system well understands that plea bargains are generally unjust and used to bully people into not defending themselves.

1: "Gary Bowser, 52, a Canadian national of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, pleaded guilty in October 2021 to Conspiracy to Circumvent Technological Measures and to Traffic in Circumvention Devices, and Trafficking in Circumvention Devices."
