You don't need high level soldering skills. A flash cart is all that's needed.

Again, I'm not interested in pirating Switch games.

Don't need to be interested to know.

After all, you literally bragged earlier how you apparently are part of the homebrew scene. Which would mean this should be common knowledge is a 'normie' like me understands it.

How are they scamming their customers?

"Scamming" is probably a strong word.

My biggest problem with them goes like this:

I've been a lifelong Nintendo fan. My first game console was the NES, and I've been right there for every Nintendo system since. I was team SNES in the 16 bit console wars. I got an N64 when my friends were getting Playstations, and I got into many an argument over which was better. I got a Gamecube and loved it. I was there for midnight releases for the Wii, Wii-U, and Switch, and I fell in love with the handhelds too.

I got to thinking at some point, how many times in the past 30+ years have I purchased the original Legend of Zelda? I still have my gold NES cartridge. I bought the NES Classics copy for GBA. I got the NES classic edition. I got virtual console copies for Wii and 3ds. That's 5 different purchases of the same game for 5 different Nintendo consoles.

Today, if I want to legitimately play Zelda for my Switch, Nintendo wants me to pay a recurring subscription just to rent access to it.

They've shut down the stores for the Wii, 3ds, Wii U and DSi, and they'll shut down the store for Switch in the future when they've decided they're done with it too. They'll release a new system, and re-sell you the same games you've already purchased sometimes multiple times before.

Then there's my PC. I started my Steam account in 2004 when Half Life 2 came out. Gamecube was the console at the time. Today, 20 years later, I can still download and play Half Life 2 on modern hardware. I don't have to re-buy it every time I get a new computer, and my Steam Deck can run it better than my 2004 gaming desktop could ever hope to.

In those same 20 years, how many digital distribution platforms has Nintendo launched and subsequently killed? 4? The Switch makes 5 and they'll kill that one too, and they'll sell you a "remastered" bundle of BOTW and TOTK that runs at 4k 60fps for full price for some future system that also won't run your previous games.

20 years of Steam and I can play every game I've ever bought no matter how many times I upgrade. Or even further back, I can dig up some old floppy disk PC game from my attic, load up it's files and still play it on a modern PC.

I'm done with the console cycle of starting over with every generation.

No they have been way too shady in too many ways for it to be a "strong" word.
They have waited two entire years before starting their scam and they have never explained in those two years what they wanted to do with Virtual Console games. If I knew it in advance I would have probably IDK I would have put a bomb inside my Wii U (I never liked the Wii U) and sent it to Nintendo instead of selling it to buy the Switch. (of couurse this is a joke I would have not actually sent a bomb, but you know I'm really angry. Please do not delete this post because of a joke to vent off my anger)... Of course I would have never bought a Switch.
The OS of the console has been in a VERY raw state for long, so at first I hoped that at some point they would have added the possibility to manually make backups of our save files. Now I would bet that they kept the OS in such a poor pathetic state just to not let people understand how scammy their online subscription would have been. Probably it was already finished, but they wanted people to perceive it as unfinished and waited to release the complete version just to scam people better, to not make them understand how much limited and poor and scammy the functionality of the console was.
Consoles have always been different from computers. Some people complained because Virtual Console games in the past were not tied to an account. THAT would be a situation where "scam" could be considered a strong word. But with what they do nowadays it is not strong anymore, it is just exactly what they do and what they are. If only they explained eveything immediately when they released the console then somebody could still say that it is a strong word, but no they have just been the worst, most anticonsuimer, most dishonest they could.
