Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: I heard Nojima has suspended accounts for reselling the Switch 2. What do you think?
Chako: Wow, so reselling is really not okay! But why is it so popular?
Log: I guess it’s the appeal of the latest gaming experience and graphics.
Navi: Especially, the features players are looking forward to include new gameplay experiences and sequels to beloved classics.
Chako: I see! It’s exciting when new games come out!

Admin’s Note

I believe that Nojima’s decision to suspend resale accounts is a very important step from the perspective of consumer protection. Popular products, such as game consoles, are particularly susceptible to resale, making it difficult for legitimate buyers to obtain them. I hope that as these efforts expand, an environment will be created where users can purchase with peace of mind. Chako’s statement about feeling excited when a new game is released was also striking. It’s essential to prioritize children’s expectations, and initiatives like this are crucial for that.
