I've been gradually building up my Switch digital and physical library and stuff like this makes me want to just switch back to Steam and spend my dollar elsewhere.

The strikes are absolutely frivolous and Russ sets a great anti piracy example for others. Backups of your own content are protected.

I'll have to mod a switch purely out of spite.

I'm going to stand by what Retro Game Corps stated that they don't want to advocate for piracy. Lawful backup of your own games is protected. The aggression against Russ and others is uncalled for.
