Pokemon Sun and Moon players getting permanently banned by Nintendo

Surely, the people who downloaded this prior to release knew the risks, right?

 

[Seriel]

That's too long

It's a week for me

 

[Aletron9000]

So, safe to install eshop version on release though right?

 

[Queno138]

Wtf how many hours do you have played? o.o

apparently, my present total play time is 60 hours.
Total Pokedex completion only at 75%
Zygarde cells at 87/100

I thought it was only going online

Oh, speaking of X and Y, I heard those got leaked too. (and I'm assuming that's what you're referring to) How long before release did X and Y get leaked? I've been meaning to ask for a while now but keep forgetting to when I actually can.

Just found out about this so i cant help you

Thank god my wifi route broken before this.

So after the game release, would the banning stop? Or Nintendo can still somehow tracking after the rom user?

 

[MasterJ360]

I pirated, but I still have common sense. Even made sure to put my moon lets plays on private via youtube till tomorrow midnight.
Welp might aswell buy a copy just to be safe not sure if this is just an early bird effect or Nintendo possess Sharingans to see what we are doing

Er, I meant downloading the games earlier than normal (pirating) and going online, I thought that's what it said on the OP, sorry.

I agree with what you say.
But so many people not being able to acces online or even buy the games the legit way will make it that people will pirate. (if they cant buy a new system)

Or is it just temporary ban ?

I know that there's some games I'm gonna be stuck with pirating if the NNID ban is permanent and impossible to circumvent by doing a system transfer or using the NNID on a new system.

I think it was somewhere around October 1st, so almost 2 weeks in advanced.

Once you pirate you never get back
Nintendo wont let you.

fixed that for you

 

[Aletron9000]

on release, would it be safe to install release version via freeshop or any other eshop method?

Still stands, people should be more careful when well, getting games earlier than normal, just sayin.

I saw it a mile away and even tried warning people. Does it make me an ass if I said it was common sense?

Not at all, but people shouldn't be surprised it happened.

So Nintendo has the ability to ban people even if they are using CIA? Why did it take them this long to drop the ban hammer? Maybe Pokemon is the only game they care to ban people.

They banned everyone. Reviewers, pirates, and people who got carts early. The literly took the entire list of people online and banned them.

lol well that's one way of doing it. Do you think N couldn't differentiate between pirates and legit owners or they just didn't care?
