I could case less what site staff pinned from the internet. I'm willing to bet not all have the same idea but a mutual understanding on where piracy stands in the grand scheme of all things relevant to theft.

Turning a blind eye to dishonesty? That's worked out for the past 300 years real fine

I have not used Steam for at least 10 years now, and have no interest in broken digital gaming.

It doesn't sound like you support any business, big or indie, just as long as you get it free.

I think everyone knows where the real problems lie with piracy, who is doing it and why. Until people like you take accountability for being dirtbags and promoting the propaganda, dumbshits like this guy will continue getting made an example.

I'm sorry that you think gigantic corporations should get away with ruining your life for making 5% in a year of what they make in a single day. You probably think they should fucking kill you and your whole fucking family for it too.

You have no right to ever complain about anything companies like Amazon, Meta, Disney, or Nestlé do, because they legally have the right to do so, you corporate fucking shill.

to all the Nintendo sheep,

They make the same games over and over you like to pay for again and again, and you are suppose to pirate them for free.

I find it laughable that we got all these Nintendo sheep here defending a company that has turned despicable and more anti-consumer than apple, EA and ubisoft altogether now and then they turn around and criticize people for pirating their shit. rofl. You guys realize that takes a a few people to re-hash the same shit again and again right. lol lol

good job copy cating, what are you like 10? You aren't suppose to copy every goddamn thing on Earth. the people who make the games you love and enjoy need to make money so they can survive and continue to develop video games.

I have a big stack of Switch games here to back me up. I doubt you have even 1 legit title.

Insane how people will hate on a company for protecting it's property while sucking on an objectively worse company that's complicit in getting children to develop lifelong gambling addictions.

also WTF @ MAGA. take that crap to the politics subforum.

With that out of the way, I agree with viri. I copy software because I feel like it. I buy the software that I want to buy. It doesn't mean that I buy everything that I use, I would be flat out broke.

Nintendo is going after more people who were involved in distributing Nintendo Switch warez and popularizing it on Reddit. A moderator, "Archbox", of the r/switchpiracy subreddit, is being sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement through distributing and hosting pirated Switch games.

Reddit is a censorship platform, so I am glad to see a moderator from that site get 'rewarded' for his stupidity. I made just one benign post on the site (in a completely unrelated subreddit) and it was 'silently' deleted some weeks later. Never went back there.

Oh you will eventually be angry... but by then it will be too late.
Irony.

This person is registered to this forum since 17 years and has over 22k posts.
I haven´t read one constructive, helpful or in any other way meaningful post by them.
It´s actually kind of the achievement to be this dumb for so long.

ArchBox is a nice guy, he has helped me out with Switch bug issues before. Unfortunate they went after him out of all the shops that have been out there. I do understand wanting him to stop selling obviously, but they could have gone for a more realistic number in damages. No way he ever earned 4.5 million.

I understand piracy is a civil matter/illegal but most game devs/game companies do not care at all about piracy and just let it go and accept it happens. Especially because some people just have no way to purchase or play their game without piracy.

can nintendo/gamefreak sue the us government as well for copyright? bros are going after a reddit mod but not the white house. so they pick and choose who they take to court.

That would be AWESOME!!! Just think of the headlines... "Nintendo Takes Down Trump!!!"

Any lawyer could argue (probably unsuccessfully) that nintendo lost the right to even sue because they refuse to sue the US government

That makes zero sense. Two entirely different situations that are not even REMOTELY similar. Im not defending Nintendo, im arguing common sense here from a legal perspective. Easy to argue a monetary loss in what happened with the reddit mod, and the fact that they reached out multiple times and he didnt comply.

The gov used PICTURES, not games, which have little to no value on their own unless you wanna argue brand image? which Nintendo is doing well enough dragging through the mud themselves, they dont see that is hurting their wallets like they believe the mod was doing. And if your spending money to sue someone, whats a case your more likely to win? A case vs 1 Reddit mod that prolly doesnt have the money to fight them, or a WHOLE ASS GOV, in US court, with an army of lawyers?

Use ur brain bro, these are not even on the same planet in similarity.
