This idiot brought this on himself AND is probably at least partially responsible for the recent crackdown on Switch emulation by Nintendo. I won’t shed a tear for him.
Not to defend leakers even a bit and Nintendo has every right to go after them legally. However, the emulation crackdown is just Nintendo flexing their legal team on small devs who’ve done everything they can to discourage leaks from spreading within their limited reach. It’s 100% on Nintendo and they themselves are acting in a legal gray zone to bully 3rd parties into giving up. If any of the emulation teams had the resources to simply deal with big N, the situation would probably look a little different.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, yes leakers are in the wrong but no, they didn’t kill emulation with their actions even when it provoked Nintendo.
Look, Nintendo is bullshit, bullying innocent creators for stupid, paranoid reasons… but c’mon. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yeah this guy seems like an idiot and there’s no moral high ground here. Nintendo can have him
the lawsuit accuses Keighin of streaming leaked Switch games, including this month’s Mario & Luigi: Brothership, ahead of release using emulation software as many as 50 times in the last two years. Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each instance of alleged copyright infringement.
Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.
Kinda the reason i dont like kotaku tbh. They do such things very often and it always feel like they are taunting or flexing and it comes over as really douchy to me
For his next stream, dude’s gonna rat out the location of every drug dealer around his house.
Idiot.
You did this to yourself mate
Well, play with fire enough and you’ll get burned. No sympathy from me.
