I mean... There are just a couple of >4.5 3ds left , why would you destroy them, if you could make money from them... Bricking their cartridge would be a good idea, people would get mad at r4i/3dslink and won't buy another cartridge from them... but, since they still want to play backups, they would have bought a Gateway cart, but they have just killed all the clone users 3ds. If Gateway really did this on purpose, they are really stupid...
