They just haaaaaad to gloat about boot9strap... I swear, the hacking community's sheer overconfidence about their new discovery is probably what triggered Nintendo into launching the ban nuke at this point in time.

So the people who hacked instead of buying games are getting removed? Sweet.

Plenty of people who never pirated a single game are getting banned. Even some people who never installed CFW at all but only used homebrew are reporting that they got banned, and piracy on the 3DS is 100% impossible without CFW.

Thank god mine has been off since BotW came out, though I never play online on the 3DS anyway.

Some people who hadn't turned on their 3DS systems for months are saying they were banned when they checked. Even a few that hadn't been used since before Christmas were reportedly hit. Apparently, Nintendo has been stockpiling this data for a while and only now decided to launch the nuke.

there's already a way around it lul

Yes, but it requires having a second unbanned 3DS and basically cannibalizing it to save your banned one. Plus, doing it too soon means the next wave of bans could leave you with two banned systems instead of just one. It's not worth the risk right now.
