The Nintendo Switch console is completely sold out in a number of regions around the world, especially in North America, where a shortage is currently directly affecting consumers. According to a new report, the shortage might be partly influenced by an automated bot that claims consoles the moment they are back in stock. Read on below to learn more:
“The new open-source Bird Bot has spawned a new community in which users either looking to capitalise on the shortage or just get ahold of a system for their own use are sharing tips and tricks on how to snap up the handheld device the moment they go back on sale.”
Bird Bot creator said, “I decided to make it as a joke, but I quickly realised just how powerful it could be. Me and my friends were talking about reselling Nintendo Switches, and at one point my friend, nicknamed Bird, told me I should make a bot. And here we are today.”
