Homebrew Are people really being banned for free shop?

[kbf]

I heard about this awhile back and was wondering if this is still a problem occurring

 

[Ritsuki]

No idea, the whole ban period was a bit confusing, nobody really knew what were the reasons for ban, I heard even a few legit users got banned...

Personally, never got any problem.

Your answer is no. The only way likely is if people are being idiots with what they do with it. Thers also a thread of this, had you not used search or simply looked for a few minutes?

There has never been a ban because of Freeshop bans happen because people play unreleased games online and some believe that letting friends see your currently playing title might do it.If anyone plays a game online too early(even if wifi is just on while playing) they are flagged then even if they aren't banned until a later date.

To answer your question, the recent bans handed out by Nintendo was due to detecting unauthorised software being used while connected to their server. As such, using software like Vgmstream3DS while the 3DS is connected to the internet.

It has nothing to do with Custom Firmware or anything outside the scope of Homebrew software.

Best way to avoid bans, is by using .3dsx versions of Homebrew software and use Luma3DS's Input Redirection to open Homebrew Launcher. And to be offline while using Homebrew CIAs.
