This is seriously annoying. Not the fact that clone buyers get bricks, they got warnings.
But the fact GW actually spends time working on brick code while they could have found keys for 9.5+ emuNAND or worked on a MSET 9.2 or even autoboot. But no, due to clones, instead of working on pleasing their userbase, they work on killing others' userbases.
Now, I know what you are going to say. "You're defending stealers who defend themselves from stealers ?". Yes, there is an ethical problem, I don't argue with this.
But don't tell me the clones deserve the money more than GW. If you think GW doesn't deserve any money, then you should think that cloners don't deserve any more. GW were the ones to work hard in the first place. Yes, to steal, but at least they worked for it instead of just selling what others already sell. Plus, GW doesn't allow only piracy. It also allows you to have an updated firmware to play newer games while still keeping a low firmware for HB exploits. This is now defeated by CFWs (those with emuNAND capabilities) but I don't think any of these CFWs currently in use nowadays would have seen the day without GW. The absence of clones wouldn't have bothered though.
I hope cloners will learn their lesson this time and let people who try to contribute work without distraction.
Dolphin isn't stealing because the GC isn't sold anymore. Clone cards are stealing because people who buy their cards don't buy GW's.
