I hope you all know you are a SMALL handful of 3DS/2DS owners.. So, "rampant piracy" won't exactly affect anything negatively as the majority of you already have access to a piracy device. So, that argument is kind of dead...
..on an important note. How many times has this discussion happened in this thread with a mod (or two) coming in asking us to stop? Why is it continuously brought up?
I agree, as long as there is new technology, there will be pirates! I mean the music industry has been on this complaint of "Stop downloading our music for free!" and yet i'm sure that over 95% of people in the world download it for free anyways. Yet they still make money! Regardless of piracy or not, it's going to happen and they still are like everyone else. They get up in the morning, get dressed, go to work, make games, release the games, and then go home. The Playstation 3 has pirated games, and they are still making games for it to the day, same for xbox 360, and the biggest gaming console is the PC and yet people pirate all the time. The point it, even if it does happen, you'll get a few people like me who get the games legitly and rip them just so that way you don't have to shuffle through 20 different carts to find the game you want. I'm not hating on your work because it is amazing, but like all developers, eventually it might be used for piracy, and you can't help that. Just like Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf, they didn't think the internet would be used for interacting with people or used to get free things, they made it to get information faster than walking down to a library and reading a book.
