Why?
They've been working on it forever and are 100% supportive of piracy, unlike the Reswitched jokers. They are explicitly enabling it, not ignoring it.
dude are you alright
i support xecuter since they were out.
im even vip on the forum there.
all im saying this is not the way to go.
they went with short term profit.
atmos is comming soon and backup loader will come, and then TX will die.
im just attacking the direction they took
Ok, that gives them a week.
Maybe.But a potential reason would be - because they protected their efforts with the most horrible DRM the CFW scene has ever seen, f.e.
There have always been assessments out there, that once Atmosphere gets released, it would take days or weeks at most until someone wrote a piracy enabling module for it.

WAAHHHH! THEY WON'T GIVE ME THEIR CFW FOR FREE! WAHHHHHH!
Atmosphere is not a piracy supporting CFW. It is in very early development and won't be useful for some time. Even after it is usable, you'll have to wait for someone to hack warez capabilities into it.
Let's say Atmosphere becomes better in 6 months or so. In that case, you can just load the bin on the TX dongle and you have a nice payload launcher.
At the end of the day, the TX solution is polished, cheap and the only people whining about it are broke boys.

It's not about complaining that it isn't free. It's complaining that they're (usually) trying to profit off of things that others release freely.
And IMO you people are sucking their c*** big time and can't even wait another month or two for atmosphere before you can start hurting nintendo's and all third-party/indie developers numbers with your cheapness. All I hear is WAAAAH. WAAAAAAH.NINTENDO WON'T GIVE ME ALL THE GAMES FOR FREE! WAAAAAAH!
They made their own thing. There is no requirement that they give it away for free. If others want to make their own thing and give that away, that's fine with me.
the question is how long that period will last. for 4 weeks of booting "backups" no one would be paying 40 bucks. with the effort the other teams put into getting into TX's way of making a quick buck with the well known exploit I would bet it will only last a short time. hackers will pretty much kill that dongle really quick and there will be no "exist forever" in a year or two.
You simply have no idea of what you speak. TX isn't Gateway. They make hardware that is useful for piracy. The superiority of the TX CFW will likely last quite some time, but even if it doesn't....$40 isn't much for a high quality jig and a portable payload launcher.
Again, you are a broke boy whining about having to spend a few bucks. It's not a dongle, it's a nicely packaged payload launcher.
Different from TX makes everyone buy license keys for their custom firmware - that is then DRM protected, and might be married to your Switch serial number.
I'd say - raid their offices, get all the serial numbers of peopl who "bought the CFW", ban them - then, leave people with Switches that run team xecuter firmware, with DRM on it - where their only update channel might be TX...
The key question for me is - what happens, when they cant release "current cfws" anymore. They have to answer that one.
And it will be an interesting answer to hear.
They are the first (?) ones that try to DRM a CFW. Thats actually pretty impactful - because it doesnt just concern a "flash card" you bought - it concerns your console.
TX open the switch to then close the ecosystem down - for their own benefit. Thats very... strange...
I know it doesnt help one bit to write about that, because - people will act like lemmings on acid, once a thing is available that allows them to pirate - but, still - the implications of that system are new and should not be underestimated. (Single point of failure, commercial, DRMed - piracy?)
People currently only care about cheap. Long term repercussions are completely out of their picture..

Your conspiracy theories are funny, but they don't reflect the way the world works.
Again: let's say that somehow this team that has been around since the original Xbox ceases to exist. In that case, you can use the payload launcher hardware to load whatever you want. A nice, portable launcher and a high quality, non-3d printed jig are worth $40 in and of themselves, IMO.
Nothing is closed or locked down here. You can use the jig and the payload launcher hardware to do whatever you want. If you want to use TX's CFW, there are some strings attached, but we don't know them yet - is the CFW married to the TX jig, or is it married to the Switch hardware itself? Either is acceptable to me.
