I understand what piracy means, it means illegally obtaining software or license that costs money. But how in the hell is Netpass even considered piracy??? It’s not stealing money or whatever, it functions the same way as streetpass except it communicates over the internet, and Nintendo abandoned the 3DS a month ago, it’s not like they will do anything

#

I heard people complaining that they got banned on r/3DS reddit for “piracy” which is Netpass

netpass is not piracy so I dont know why that would be happening on the subreddit

#

It isn't piracy, hence being in universal updater

#

And Nintendo has streetpass relay until March 2018, for streetpass over internet

#

Homepass used that official server

#

Netpass is the kind of thing I was aiming for with streetpass 2, but couldn't get people with the right skill set assembled

A lot has been breaking for moderator toolbox and stuff

#

Don't know

#

Moderating on old reddit became difficult around summer 2022 for me

#

A lot of tools broke with changes, they broke removal reasons for me on old reddit

#

I was never able to get help getting a fix, the reasons kind of worked on new

#

iirc xditto said its against reddit tos so hes been banning people talking about revival services

#

Except wiimfi has been accepted for a decade

#

And streetpass 2 and homepass had threads on the sub

#

I found homepass via the 3ds subreddit a decade ago

#

so people shouldnt be banned for talking about pretendo and netpass? right?

#

It's not copyrighted data distribution

#

It's part of the standard stuff from the hacking guide

#

Universal updater apps are curated and pass the legality checks

#

ill talk to XDitto about it then

#

Ps2 subreddit allows the unofficial game servers set up about a decade ago

#

Ds and wii replacement service has flown for a decade

#

Calling it piracy is outright wrong

That's not eShop related
