#Procon-SP, the #SaoPaulo branch of #Brazilโ€™s #ConsumerProtection and Defence program, has stated in a press release that it is challenging #Nintendoโ€˜s ability to #brick Nintendo #Switch2 consoles when it wants, citing certain aspects of it โ€œabusive.โ€ As we already know Nintendo can permanently restrict you from accessing the Nintendo eShop and online play if they believe you have used unauthorised accessories or pirated #software. This leads to the devastating 2124-4508 error code. Procon-SP says that canceling subscriptions or services without explanation violates consumer protection rules in Brazil. Nintendo has said that it has appointed a local #law firm to handle the matter.
