Nintendo: "Would you like some lies with your fries?

We have all heard that Nintendo has ceased production of the 3ds. They have also issued a statement saying that no online services are scheduled to be stopped in te foreseeable future. That was just hours ago, now on Nintendolife, I see this headline...
Nintendo To Shutdown "Limited" Wii U And 3DS eShops In Select Countries
If you read the article it says you will not be able to use codes for redeeming items and that certain games will cease to work.
It goes on to say this islimited to some smaller countries.. I say maybe but how long once we've swallowed that before they're shutting it down globally.

I can promise you, with that above statement... they DO in fact have plans to shut down services for the 3ds online in the 'foreseeable future'. I only bring this up because I just read someone's post on an online forum where the person said the only reason they stopped the DS one was because of Gamespys closure.I realize some people don't care about this but some of us are still using our 3ds and would still like to see those online services continue for sometime. And what's the damd rush to shut down the online gaming for the 3ds anyway? I would think during this pandemic they could hold out for a bit more time before shutting out the services of their golden child of handhelds.

(any inaccuracies in this post were due to my rush to post it, more research should have been done by me, but my duties as an assistant at a food bank are calling , so I'll check in on this later.)

Let the flaming begin.. oh, er I mean comments?

This is the unfortunate fate of all online services. Once the costs of maintaining a server are deemed to be too high, the company pulls the plug and focuses on other ventures.

Am I the only one who wants servers like they had back in the old days of Counter-Strike Source in the early-mid 2000's? It was just your players hosting it, and if you wanted to join that server, you had the choice. Now, it's about being either in a clan, party, or just teaming up with a bunch of randos talking about getting high or drunk, or, in the worst case scenario, a bunch of annoying kids that you can mute, sure, but fuck playing as a team in the matchmaking scenario in general, you know?
