Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA (en.as.com)

Not true. For example, an EU resident (citizen is the wrong group) purchasing in the US is not covered by EU law.

I don't know any of the law for sure, but isn't that a different argument entirely?

In one case, an EU resident buys a product in the EU, decides to use it while in the US for a week/month whatever. The argument is that he's protected.

You're saying that's not true, because if he buys it in the USA, then he's not protected.

But, that wasn't the argument, was it? It's different?
