    Sure the risk of brick has already been there for self ignorance.

    Not intentional malfeasance to destroy from the manufacturer

    Edit: holy shit where did that word salad come from

        Hacked switch has always had a risk of bricking from user error

        … Not from a company intentionally bricking

          No. Nintendo will brick your switch if they notice it’s modded. This is old news.
