The person was running a pirate game selling website based in surprise Arizona named the same as the username that they were posting and moderating (a switch piracy community) on Reddit and the email address associated with their Reddit account was the same one they used to correspond with Nintendo about getting stuff repaired which was sent to their address in surprise Arizona.
Evaluate and make changes to your own life as you see necessary.
nintendrones are the most brainwashed corporate bootlickers I’ve ever encountered
Fr fanboying over a corporation is the most sad thing I’ve seen in a while
That’s what you call an opsec fail
Yes, but it is also a bit scary / dystopian that a $62 billion company would go to such great lengths to have one of their own customers thrown in jail for using the product that he paid for in a way that wasn’t hurting anyone.
He didn’t just use the product he paid for in a way that doesn’t hurt anybody, he sold pirated Nintendo Switch games. This is literally at the start of the article.
It then becomes very easy to say he took revenue from Nintendo (the “they wouldn’t have bought it if it cost money” argument doesn’t apply), but above all selling pirated material is a shitty thing to do.
Yep. He sold ROMs. I have no sympathy for privateers in “the scene.”
Hardly dystopian. They just had someone who understands how tech works on staff.
Yeah. Rule #1 of doing illegal shit on social media. Don’t tie that account to your identity.
Did a shit job being a pirate then if he doxxed himself albeit through many clues
i swear nintendo is the only company that manages to have people deflecting any form of villification, here or literally anywhere on the internet. Truly incredible, people really love them their pokemans and tubby egg rabbits
Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo’s shitty legal practices.
Changing the topic is typical everytime Nintendo’s legal hawks are reported doing anything
