You mean the one that Nintendo crushed and now has details on everyone who bought (or at least ordered) one?

Sure those are just flying around where anyone can grab one.

If you have a 1st hardware generation Switch you have all the dumping hardware you require anyway.

Huh? Last I checked you can still order them off AliExpress without an issue. And I highly doubt that Nintendo would go after the thousands of people who bought one after the big MIG Switch announcements.

they're not "going after" MIG Dumper customers, I didn't say that. Remember what people actually say vs. what you imagine them saying when you want to argue with them.

Nintendo seek customer information in order to inform those customers that they are in possession of illegally obtained copyrighted material.

Copyright is barely a thing in China, and is almost never enforced. And certainly the tech culture there is very much pro-copying.
