Nismax pretty much summed up all my feelings about this.
Their code, their device. Cloned devices wouldn't have this problem if they wrote their own or even did any work to prevent this type of problem for their end users.

I think of this as support:

No one is forced to buy a Gateway 3DS card.
"Gateway's negligence or malicious vandalism". Gateway didn't distribute *ANY* code to r4i users .... r4i did. That is a big difference.
r4i is the problem, and has been from the beginning.
This analogy does not apply.Nobody is forced to buy any product. That does not absolve the manufacturer of tort or criminal liability resulting from their maliciousness or negligence. If I try to save a few dollars by selling tires I know are likely to be defective, that I know have a higher than normal probability of exploding, then I cannot say, "nobody is forced to buy my tires," when I get dragged into court for wrongful death.
People shouldn't buy Flashcarts from people who are unable to support them.with naive consumers getting injured in the crossfire.
Oh please. Even before this happened, he hated gateway with a passion. He's just acting as if he predicted the apocalypse and wants to feel superior. Last week he was this close to getting banned along with JohnnyBlaze1986 for flamming. Why do you think gamefan5 was begging him not to start the flame war.
In this thread no one cares about the part of responsibility R4i has in this.
R4 didn't write code that would brick your 3DS.
R4 didn't write code that would brick your 3DS.
But they did distribute it as though they had written it. No where on R4i's site does it say "We didn't write or test this code so if it breaks your shit tough luck"R4 didn't write code that would brick your 3DS.
Gotta agree with this. It's "their" firmware bricking consoles. Not Gateway's.But they did distribute it as though they had written it. No where on R4i's site does it say "We didn't write or test this code so if it breaks your shit tough luck"
This analogy does not apply.
No one is dying and the 3DS cart business is not all that legit to start.
People shouldn't buy Flashcarts from people who are unable to support them.
It *SHOULD* have been obvious that r4i never ever intended to support their product, because they are incapable of doing so.
r4i is the negligent party ... THEY DISTRIBUTED the bad firmware.
People downloaded *FROM R4i's site*.
This is a r4i problem.
They distributed it to every bricked console.
By distributing it ... they gave their seal of approval.
r4i is the source of the firmware that bricked their user's consoles.
