Precisely, I just don't buy closed down stuff unless I absolutely have no other choice.
I don't care how good the games are, they're ultimately entertainment, which is at the very bottom of the list when it comes to spending. I did pay for MMOs that turned into garbage after a while, which only reinforced this "hardline" stance, I guess.
Hell, I've hacked my ISPs ONT, the piece of shit wouldn't let me set it to bridged mode or even change the Wifi name/password. Couldn't care less that it's against the terms. There's things that people must compromise on all the time when it comes to personal freedoms - in this case, I'm not going to even if it's illegal.
They'll march me off to war if need be, but God forbid if I upset some company's marketing plan or bottom line.
So perhaps a different way to frame this then is that the Switch is a product that was not made for you. And that’s ok.
