What would be the benefit of doing this? I'm legitimately curious, because it seems pointless to me to go through all these extra steps if you already have a CIA you can install. I installed some tickets earlier for games that nobody has uploaded CIAs for, but why do this if you've got the CIA already downloaded and can simply install it?



Also, I would think this definitely affects your NNID, since you have to log in to access eShop. You're logging in, visiting a game page, and "redownloading" it for free. It seems like they'd be keeping track of all your "purchases" using the eShop, especially since whenever I visit it my DLC and themes are removed.
