They don't suck when you actually have access to them and don't get yeeted for abuse. (not saying you did that)Shops suck, first of all.

The only time mods in the shops ban people for "saying anything mods dont like" is when a bigot or an entitled prick says something bad. Sounds like you might have done such things.Well yeah, shops by themselves doesn't suck, what sucks are those power tripping mods on discord that ban people at their wish. Say anything mods don't like and you're banned.
Sounds like you are one of those power tripping mods, bans people at their wish then acting all innocent.The only time mods in the shops ban people for "saying anything mods dont like" is when a bigot or an entitled prick says something bad. Sounds like you might have done such things.
The shops suck because they are trying to gatekeep piracy. There are homebrew ports that are exclusive to shops.
They also have stupid rules for no reason other than giving a sense of power to the mods.
this never happend. worst we do it giving you a timeout or kicking you. there is never a ban for asking this. but yes, it is infact against the rules to not read stuff.asking why a game isn't in the shop
asking why a dlc is missing
i never heard of anyone questioning pro except the regular allegations of being about greed, which has been explained and disproved multiple times.questioning pro membership
what account verification? i actually dont know what you are talking aboutquestioning account verification
that one also never has been givin a ban about. at least not on its own. in 99.999% of the times the user that "asked" about that was a dick. "THIS IS STUPID. DISABLE IT RIGHT NOW" - "no, why should we, live with it, or dont." - "<more angry ranting>" -> banquestioning key/device association
if that actually happend, we are sorry. but there is an appealment process, which is quite ez to use, sooo....harmless jokes (asking for free pro)
because 99.99% of the time those are just alt accounts of the formerly banned user.asking mods why they ban someone
So bans because of rule violations are not legit?Not a single person got banned for legit reasons (spamming, doxxing, etc).
You are free to open your own shop. I will even help you get it up and running. But guess what: You won't. Because you rather complain about stuff that is - in your opinion - running wild and out of hand, rather than doing something against it.Well yeah, shops by themselves doesn't suck, what sucks are those power tripping mods on discord that ban people at their wish. Say anything mods don't like and you're banned.
Their reason or rules does not matter really, it's their discord and they rules it with a iron fist, andOh nice allegation. Or maybe you just don't know the reasons? How about that?
Wait ! "that1pixl" ! Are you that moderator of teknik that attacks anybody talking about pixel shop on reddit ?
Of course they do. What are you talking about? Unnesseccary rules and rules that are just there to hinder people, are plain stupid and should be trashed. But just because you don't know a reason does not mean the rule has no reason at all. So yes, it f** does matter if there is a reason. And yes, Pixel Shop does enforce those rules hard. You would too, if you would have to deal with all that bullshit every day. But people try to ignore the last part, because it doesnt affect them in general.Their reason or rules does not matter really
interesting, what kind of homebrew ports are there / what kind of exclusive content?There are homebrew ports that are exclusive to shops.
I have access to two shops and I only use them for exclusive content.
Most famous example is PIzza Tower, but there are also some H-Games ported by someone from the bird shop and one port from Pixel Shop owner. but i think all ports are also on the subreddit (as annoucements, not the files, duh.. )interesting, what kind of homebrew ports are there / what kind of exclusive content?
The rule 0 is pretty much "i can ban you for whatever reason i like", and since mods can't be called to reason their bans, they can pretty much make up anything they want. So i don't see why they should matter other when a lose guideline to avoid getting banned.Of course they do
lmao typical discord mod moment. Except those mods can make up any excuse and interpret them however they feel like.We have rules. Just f** follow them.
Guess what, I am. Looks like somebody don't know how to read, it's literally on the first page. I started my own tinfoil server last year because those discord servers are ran by attention whores. I've got around 5TB switch games on my NAS now and I'm sharing it with a dozen of friends using the domain of my personal website, reverse proxyed to my NAS server.You are free to open your own shop. I will even help you get it up and running. But guess what: You won't.

It says in the shop rules that if you offer to pay them for access, they will ban you. There's no way to send the shops cash. I am guessing everyone in this thread who complained about being banned had offered to pay for access, and were banned for it, unless @mathew77 wants to provide another explanation.Now, how would you respond to your "pay for piracy" model, as accused by several others in this thread?
Sorry, the #0 rule is just normal common sense.The rule 0 is pretty much "i can ban you for whatever reason i like", and since mods can't be called to reason their bans, they can pretty much make up anything they want. So i don't see why they should matter other when a lose guideline to avoid getting banned.
Pixl should just shut his project down, it's clear he isn't wanted, and we have @randy_w to carry the shop scene with his 5 TB NAS!It's exactly this entitled behavior you can see in this thread that gets shops closed to public and people banned lol.
None of these idiots understanding how much time it costs to maintain a project like this for free.
Also it's always nice to see when a community goes hard on toxicity.
Interesting how someone was able to get one this weekend, that was missing for over 3 years.They've got a list of things that literally nobody else in the world has been able to acquire because they're unavailable.

Are you going to expand your shop to the full Switch collection, plus add new updates within an hour of them coming out, and give hundreds of thousands of people access to it...like pixl does, and was so kind enough to offer you assistance with? Or are you just here to complain and start drama even though most of the dumps you are pulling from "scene" group topsites, torrents, or direct download websites originated from the shops? Are you trying to stifle preservation?
And I'm Chuck Norris.most of the dumps you are pulling from "scene" group topsites, torrents, or direct download websites originated from the shops?
Oh, congrats. But "you and a dozen friends" is not even close to 160k users. That is not boasting, but a simple statement of fact. You have to apply different policies for different sizes of Communities. We cant run those shops the same way you do. For example: Does your NAS support around 7-10GB/s peak traffic? Or at least 1-2GB/s continuously? No? Well, we have to. And we do this out of our own pockets. Also, where do you get your games from? Probably one of our dumps, if you are not directly pulling from ftp servers inside the scene. Even a lot of torrents are just re-"releases" of our dumps, and the scene is not fraudster free (Word of the day: BREWZ)Guess what, I am.

Thats not me. I slept in and wasn't even awake when ohman made the first post.Register as many new accounts as you like, you are just making a clown of yourself.
You wont believe it, because it does not match your oppinion on those shops, but they are happy if others host their own shop. Espcially because Pixel Shop had to close its doors. The only problem with a bunch of local copies is: We don't need 20,000 local copies of TOTK or Mario Oddyssey, but rather 50 local copies of all games. Even those shitty shovel ware games nobody wants to play right now.I just said people shouldn't use these shops and should set up their own if they really care about preservation
Sorry, but this is just the Principal Skinner Meme... "Am I wrong on this? - No is has to be alt accounts brigarding me!"Now suddenly there are 3 different accounts attacking me for.. stating the fact?
It is your opinion that they are power tripping mods. I know some of them have a short fuse, but again: You would too, if you would have to deal with the same bullshit all day every day.ran by power tripping mods
It is nothing "I just realized"...Also also, why did you say you'd like to help people setting up their own shop and after you realize some of us do keep private shops, you suddenly acting all butthurt?
It really is the case.And I'm Chuck Norris.
