I thought I would try playing Splatoon 1 on Pretendo Network because I figured it'd be neat to check out. Turns out, Pretendo Network is one of those extremely anti-piracy fan servers, requiring you to buy a Wii U, modify it, and create an account for the network on it (and people are starting to overcharge on Wii U systems because of "modding potential" for a system that most people would rather just use a PC instead of trying to mod for emulation). Only then are you allowed to dump said fan server account files with use for emulator.
The alternative is buying pretendo accounts from shady third parties who can at any point delete the account from the Wii U, thereby deactivating it. What a great ""archival"" service of Nintendo's online features.

@Iffine $10 on Pretendo Network getting fucked even with these retarded rules as soon as Nintendo is made aware of them

@poopernova @Iffine Ngl, I'm almost petty enough to report them to Nintendo myself. Almost.

@poopernova Honestly I don't see Pretendo getting fucked since their main focus is the Wii U. While Nintendo gets overprotective of successful systems, they hardly ever give a shit about what goes on for failures. But then they also proudly advertise this on their progress page with "perks" for donating so they're a very easy target.
Not at all surprising considering the main team has at least one furry, a troon(? might just be a troon supporter, still has dyed hair though and flags everywhere), and your flavors of other less than aware internet folk who don't seem to realize how bad of an idea putting the donations tied directly to their main website is.
