Nintendo’s ongoing fight against Switch piracy has a new target in its sights — and that’s the r/SwitchPirates subreddit.
Nintendo’s ongoing fight against Switch piracy has a new target in its sights — and that’s the r/SwitchPirates subreddit.
In the gbatemp thread they wrote that this guy flew too much near to the sun:
Reused his username everywhere to the point that his name and the fact that he was from Arizona was public
Sent back to Nintendo multiple switches to repair using that name with an Arizona address
It wasn’t hard for them to dox and sue him as he literally gave them his real address multiple times…
It is amazing how, and I am sorry to call this out, fucking stupid some people are while doing illegal things.
Reusing the username, not smart but also not super stupid. Stating where he lives, a bit stupid. Sending Switches for repair with that username??? Was his username his real name? That would be even worse.
