It looks like the Nintendo Switch will soon hit a milestone in its life cycle. To this day, the switch remains one of the best consoles ever released. In fact, it was a top platform in 2023. Nintendo, too, is basking in this success and passing by the competition. But they had to take some grave steps to get here; they had to fight a bunch of hackers that were making the jailbreak of this hybrid console easier.
A number of people who made piracy on the Nintendo Switch possible were sued by Nintendo. It’s no surprise that the platform holder won those cases too. Effectively shutting their businesses. But it looks like another challenger is on the horizon.
