Dont you have to pay for Online Services with Pretendo

i don't think so? i mean i think you get access to their tester servers if you subscribe to their patreon or whatnot, but some servers are open for public use without paying

@@CalSplatoon im beta tester beta testers get access to all online services that pretendo supports, including a miiverse clone, and online servers. you have to pay $10 a month for it, and also splatoon on pretendo servers are really hard to get in a full lobby since there isnt as much people there.
