Gaming Why are people so secretive about thier friend code?

[Jiehfeng]

You do know that first paragraph is a joke right?

As for the danger part there is no actual danger to handing out one's friend code, I can see someone worrying over it for the first time though. Like using a creditcard online for the first time or using your real name online for the first time. I can also see it being like the wii u though, where some game will want a picture of you and it makes it manditory. Someone might not want to be seen, some might not want to be heard, others might just want a simple online game.

I remember playing the playstation battle all stars beta, the thing brought up an error when you had the mic disabled for play, and would sometimes kick you from a match for it. The thing is when I played everyone having their mic on bogged down the experience of the game, sounds were constantly heard during matches clouding out the music and sounds. Now think about it on the 3DS where you CANNOT disable the mic at all. Least as far as I know.

Why didn't you mention -_-
Anyways we cleared something here, no danger at all.
END THREAD NAO! TOO MANY ANSWERS.

I thought the special magnet that works on anything would be a major tip off.

Nevah, it's like giving a code. Not a password
And even if you're friend code is given, you too should add the person to add em.



I lmfao for this

I wasn't being serious

 

[emigre]

To answer the OP, friendcodes are shit.

 

[Jiehfeng]

I wasn't being serious

Hmm, but it wasn't funny :/

True, but again, don't just give out an opinion without even helping the OP

 

[naved.islam14]

Who said it was? I definitely didn't.

People are secretive about it because they are jealous that everyone with a 3DS has one.

No, I mean if you weren't serious and it wasn't a joke, the post doesn't have a value to be there.
And no, I don't think it's why they are secretive about it

Then maybe they're just jerks.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Q: Why are people so secretive about their friend code?
A: Friend codes are shit.

Just realized that I have numerous friends that own 3DS's, yet no friends on my actual 3DS. That feel.

It's simple: Friend Codes are the 2013 way of punishing Piracy, so if you hack your 3DS, Nintendo will find you soon enough, and throw you to a court.

Makes sense, Nintendo could track down tempers via spotpass and send a bus driver to their house yelling "You going to jail now!" and uppercut them.
