If there is over a 50% chance the device will not do what it is supposed to do (play your game) then nobody will want to use that device. We are just arguing over semantics here. I hope you see this as a not good thing for nintendo to do... "Samus"

Oh, I fully agree - banning an account is one thing, but banning at a hardware level is complete and utter bullshit. I'm arguing against using inaccurate terminology for what they're doing, not supporting them in any way. As my username implies, I used to be a fan of theirs. They've always had a shady side, but since Iwata died and Reggie left, it's all pure corporate greed there now.
