Nintendo wins court battle against defiant streamer

[Dani.]

Nintendo has struck again! But read it for yourselves and form your own opinion. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Nintendo-wins-court-battle-against-defiant-streamer-10966596.html

It's not much of a shock.

This dude was streaming unreleased nintendo games that he aquired "less than legally".

Honestly, my main gripe with this whole fiasco is that it's likely to shine more light onto retrogaming and using roms/emulators again, and that could mean trouble for places like RGT.

Both sides of the lawsuit are fucked. Nintendo are fucked because they're Nintendo. This streamer is fucked because he hasnt' got a single chance in hell of avoiding this punishment.

Nintendo wins lawsuit against player who kept streaming pirated Switch games.

Nintendo has won a lawsuit against a streamer who regularly played pirated games before their release, while taunting the company that he couldn't be caught. Last year Nintendo sued Jesse Keighin, who it claimed would stream games on various online platforms under his username Every Game Guru...

I'm not favorable to Nintendo for their constant lawfare against everyone... but this guy was pretty dumb to make a target out of himself so publicly.

Nintendo's stance on ending piracy and emulators because they still make money from their every game and console:

lolol

As I said in another thread, guy was asking for it.

He was doing the equivalent of lighting up a runaway and setting up beacons for Nintendo's lawyers to land.

Since the very dawn of file-sharing, piracy has always been about secrecy. Those guys uploading MP3s to IRC channels didn't do it because they loved the format, but because that was MUCH harder to track than regular websites. Why did the FBI set up the so-called "Honeycomb" sites? Because people who came in to download files illegally could be trapped on a logged "net" -- even game crackers from way back when anonymized their files because credit came with real heat.

To pull this crap in 2025 is just asking for trouble.
