It’s just not nearly as nefarious as it sounds. This person basically won the anti-lottery of buying a used game that was ripped and distributed on a piracy site and flagged by Nintendo. The chances of that happening when you buy a used game are unlikely as fuck… but because it can happen to individuals, they asked for a little proof that this user was telling the truth and then unbanned him when he provided it.
This isn’t something that’s going to happen to many people realistically but it’s nice that there’s a solution if it does.
I don't want to play a numbers game with factors I have no control over, nor visibility into.
Lots of things in life are a numbers game you have no control over, often with consequences much worse than being temporarily inconvenienced having a ten minute interaction with customer service. Better never get into a car or airplane again, eh?
If you’re worried, save your store receipts or screenshots of listings for used Switch games and then this can be sorted in the very, very unlikely situation that this will happen to you. But it won’t.
