Piracy might be less of a concern for Nintendo Switch developers in the future.

Just what game preservationists needed...

It is the ability to modify (ie. tampering) that enables communities to form around games.

There are levels of being a fool, and this goes right into the highest: plain fool, d@mn fool, bloody fool, fcking fool,

This is both so sinister and obscene that it can only be conceived by an intellectual. So right up in nintendo's alley.

Is it a concern now? I thought they had the Switch locked down tight. But I also don't follow a lot of Switch news so I have no idea if people have starting modding them now to play "backups"
 
Nintendo has always been very heavy handed when protecting their IP.

I don't recall the details, but early versions of the Switch have a hardware flaw in the Tegra SoC that allows the system to be soft-modded, and it can't be corrected via new firmware updates. I know this flaw was corrected in later-manufactured versions of the Switch, but I don't know if modders found a way around that. I also don't know if Switch Lite or OLED Switch can be soft-modded. But people have been rollin' with soft-modded regular Switches for a few years. My brother's friend has had a soft-modded Switch for a while. Not to mention the Switch emulators Yuzu and Ryujinx have done a great job at playing a lot retail games so far. They even work well on Steam Deck.
