I literally just found <Shop1> yesterday and joined only to get booted today because they're 'closing to the public'. I finally started dicking with my Switch again because I found a working shop after forever and of course it goes private and I get the boot. What the fuck is the deal with all these shops? This has happened (to me personally anyway) like 5 fucking times in the last year, with the most recent (aside from <Shop1>) being <Shop2>. Is it as simple as them just wanting to cash in on the exclusivity or what? I understand there are costs to this kind of deal, though unaware of what said cost actually amounts to, but can't there be one...just one...that stays open to an active community? Boot the leeches, sure, but give people the time to become a part of the community before kicking them less than 24hrs after joining. I have no problem falling back on manually locating backups and going the Awoo route but the convenience will certainly be missed. Do any other shops exist that aren't paywalled? I'm half tempted to give it a go and do the necessary research/whatever-the-fuck to set one up myself. Maybe I'm being a crybaby and venting, I dunno, it's just unfortunate I guess.
