R4i are bad guys because they end up hurting Gateway users:
1. Gateway has to spend more time fighting R4i with implementing booby traps
2. Gateway users have to wait longer for features (see 1)
3. Gateway will spend less effort into innovating and implementing new features as cloners will clone it anyway and no longer worth the effort
4. Gateway users will have less features (see 3)
If R4i are implementing their own features and not copying Gateway then they would not need to implement such booby traps and have more time working on real features
If there was healthy competition between Gateway and rivals then there would be a race to get features implemented first. Thus benefiting end users of either flashcards.
But aslong as Gateway is the only party always delivering the features and cloners just cloning, this is not a healthy situation for the 3ds scene
Hi, fanboy, are you going to start another war?
It's not good for you to make such statements because you know nothing more about the firmware released by r4i team.
