A truly sad and pathetic example of how petty Nintendo is. Don't get me wrong, piracy is illegal and they had every right to go after the person who uploaded their IP, but to sue someone that age for that amount of money is insane. Nintendo actually thinks that its okay to RUIN some young guy's life over one game like that. As his father stated, there was no malicious intent, he did not profit from the leak, he just made a stupid choice trying to make some friends. Plus, Nintendo even commented itself that despite the leak, it was one of the top selling games for the console. Obviously this guy couldn't have done THAT much damage if your "pirated" game is still a fucking TOP SELLER.

What really went on here is clear: Nintendo wanted to make an example out of him. Its honestly disgusting in my humble opinion. I agree that there should be consequences for the person's actions, but the cash amount and the conditions (such as not being allowed to comment on the event) are just FAR beyond what he deserved or what I personally feel would be reasonable. I guess this is to be expected form a company who gives literally 0 shits about their fans and still thinks NES games from the 80's are worth $15 in 2017. Seriously Nintendo, get your shit together.

agreed, the game didn't even work for a while, so lets say only a quarter of the people who downloaded it actually played it.

60 * 50,000 = 3,000,000
3,000,000 ÷ 4 = 750,000

so at most nintendo lost $750,000. Which is 2 times less than they sued him for

you know that you accepted a NDA ? You are not allowed to share anything related to the Dev Portal (someone on Discord said the same Thing to me XD)

The hilarious part is that guy could never have had enough to pay that judgement let alone the court fees, so essentially Nintendo just spent money to do fuck all.

Wow Nintendo, you bankrupted someone who had fuck all anyway and butchered their credit record for 4 years.

Good job legal team, well thought out.

But he's now an example of what could happen if you mess with the Nintendo overlords.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
