Not only that. In South America, it is impossible to legally purchase digital Nintendo games. The only options are: overpriced physical copies (like, 2 or 3 times the original value), or create a US account (so, lying in the personal data) and buy prepaid cards online (also severely overpriced).
For some people, piracy is the only option.
Used to love Nintendo, but I had enough of their bullshit a long time ago. Last straw was they closing South America eShop, which rendered my 3DS unusable (game cartridges are expensive here, and you mostly get old games).
Of course, I ended up jailbreaking the thing, but I never again thought about purchasing any of their products anymore.
