sure but it is the beta stuff that did it. not the actual card. should they replace it? sure.
if the beta drivers for your video card killed it, and the beta drivers are released by the company, and they do not say it is your responsibility etc, or warn you, then sure, they should replace it.
but that is different to the gateway situation. analogies are hard to use sometimes.
if gateway bricked the CARD, using the beta loader, then sure, get a replacement/refund. but this is not what has happened.
if they bricked your 3ds (which has happened), sure, ideally get gateway to fix it.
but getting a refund for the gateway being defective is not the issue, that's not what the problem is. the problem is not the card, the problem is the beta loader.
the beta loader is free. you did not pay for it. gateway fixing your bricked 3ds is the right thing for them to do, but it is different to refunding your gateway card because it 'doesn't work'.
i'm going to unsubscribe from this now, since this just seems to be going in circles
They paid for a product and service that I quote can "Play backup 3ds roms" So how do you do that without the loader. And with a loader thats bricking I'd say that's a major defect. is that not logic?
Gateway promised you wouldn't brick with their product, so you have a right to send the card back and get the money back (if it's still in warranty, or if it even DOES have a warranty).
The launcher is the required software to use the product, so the "you didn't pay for it" is nonsense. If Apple bricked a computer (or even a device connected to the computer) with an OSX update, you'd be sure they would be sued and forced to pay customers back for it. But then again, we're talking about chinese companies here, so all of this might not apply.

So lets go back a few months......if GW sold their card without software. And they never released any software on their site then according to you people shouldnt complain? Because they have their card....software was never included in the price so they shouldnt whine right? I think you see that this is not logical at all.
By the way when you purchase something you also buy the support for it. Its not always physical only when you buy something. Software is part of the support.
I wonder what the cops will do with the person who stole from someone selling illegal goods
@edit: i said this on another topic and will repeat on this one for everyone complaining:
This is an underground market, they are selling a pirating device, there is no moral or ethic.
gateway doesn't give a <insert swearing word here> about everyone, they just want our cash, if you want it to be the other way around buy the original games
The problem is that the brick is exceptionally rare, so there won't be many returnable GW 3DS in the first place.
Um, no they will not. They will usually open an investigation and attempt to contact the retailer. If the retailer tells them the product is illegal or the company has a lot of complaints, they will most likely be suspended or blocked. It is in the retailers best interest to satisfy the customer because the credit card companies will likely hold them to whatever local laws and bank consumer protections the customer has in the location where their credit card is billed.
It's not the piracy that drives them. It's the right to have all their games on one card. It's convenience. Rather than having many game carts to carry with you, and their protective cases... You just have one flash cart with your favorite games on it. (Multirom coming soon)
No, because the internal storage is too limited. And not every retail game has a digital download either. I also don't like how the purchased digital downloads aren't freely transferable between 3DS systems, so if I have more than one system, I'v have to buy it twice..? Fuck that noise. Anti-DRM Pirate for life here.
And then report both sides....except gateway are nowhere to be seen to face the consequences XD
"Report both sides" to whom? Retailers are usually the ones that face the consequences, since they can have the charges reversed and have their account suspended.
You wouldn't get gateway blocked you would get a reseller blocked if anything, and I'm sure banks have some sort of protocol for having to report people buying illegal stuff......probs turn a blind eye most of the time but if it's highlighted to them......who knows
But whatever this whole topic is stupid to begin with
But whatever this whole topic is stupid to begin with
I'm hoping that was sarcasm. X.x
If not, would you swear by your honour that you own all said games in the flashcard?
Seriously... People that actually use that excuse are saying complete and utter bullshit!
When I used to pirate I certainly didn't own the games I downloaded. As for internal memory... My 3DS has a 32GB card and I have no issues with space, currently I have over 20 digital 3DS games... although I prefer carrying buying retail, so I always carry two of those Nintendo 3DS cases for 18 cartridges that you could get with stars on their website
