Reminder: The Nintendo DSi shop is shutting down
Source
You sign an agreement when you first use the service that lets them cancel the service at any time.Unless they refund your money, not allowing you to re-download forever = theft.
The cost of keeping the games redownloadable is negligible if it's hosted on the same CDN as 3DS/Switch eShop. Maintaining the payment systems can be costly on the other handIts not theft, they cant keep servers up for ever (cost problems) and there arent many who purchase things there now... if your bank closes then you get no opportunity to get money back and its not really theft...
Still, for people with terrible eyesight such as me, they're better. They're larger.Yet they're lower DPI.
Not that I'm aware of. Are you aware of any specific legislation saying otherwise?Doesnt this like go against EU consumer protection laws or something?
I thought this was closed down years ago?
Wait you mean it didn't close down 2 years ago?Nearly a year ago, Nintendo put out a blog post, mentioning that the DSi shop would be closing early in 2017. Though you can no longer add points to an account, you can still download previously purchased items on your DSi, or buy titles if you have remaining funds, that is, until March 31, 2017. Nintendo claims that "most" DSiware will be available to download unhindered on the 3DS's e-Shop, but in the case of the DSi, you will no longer be allowed to re-download DSiware, even if you purchased it. This is a reminder for those that still use a DSi to grab their purchases before it's too late and make peace with the service being ended.

Yes, but some people prefer having it on their DSi, DS, or what not.You DO know there's a replacement service, right?
