i don't think you do. the only reason freeshop is possible is because there's full control over the console

at that stage you can run *anything* on the console, it doesn't matter what the stock software does

(and it's not even a good analogy, since steam is essentially always-online drm, not tractable on handheld)

the 3ds has some severe security issues. eshop games are not one of them.

your right, i guess that excuses why they never bothered adding anything to make sure you own a game server side

kind of. 3ds also has physical media to deal with which complicates things a lot.

you can't really make sure that someone actually owns the cartridge so i'm not sure what you expect them to do

hell you dont even have to do anything to the cart, each cart comes with a key that you have to register with

The main advantage of phyisical cart is that it can be resold/traded. Threre isn't an easy way around multiplayer use.
