Is that against the terms and conditions?
Just asking!

Yeah, if you pirate and whatever... fair enough. Don't expect Nintendo to want to deal with you. But at least you know that is the risk you're taking.
The other group of people this will impact are those who dump (legally) their own games so that they don't have to swap out carts all the time. It's also going to suck for those who pick up a second hand console to find that their online access is restricted. I don't see an issue with Nintendo blacklisting a device from their services should it go against their ToS, but this just seems way too easy of a trap to walk into.
Imagining pirating a PC game and then never being allowed on the internet again...

They were explicitly told this would happen and still tried... ffs
The Nintendo online play is a joke. Not connecting to the web is a boon imo
If only it was just that… this bricks your console. You can’t play games on it, or update it.
It would work for piracy eventually probably, but without firmware updates you’re stuck with older games (unless there are new games released with firmware updates included and pirating those games works)
ah, the old "let's completely shit on the millions of people who give us money, in order to do nothing to the handful of people who torrent our shit" strategy
The fuck are you talking about? Do you think millions of people are going online with flashcarts that aren't pirates?
You're right. Definitely not even 1 million people are trying that. Good catch.
