all these n-letter company dramas streisand-effect’ed me into being interested in legal switch emulation - I never knew you can even play switch online perfectly legal on PC if there’s enough gamers backing up a justified defence against lawsuit-bully attempts by those suits
but yeah this guy here not the brighest light, is he
Dipshit was streaming games that hadn’t even been released yet.
Good, that’s exactly what Shitendo deserves
Well he sure showed them, didn’t he?
Well sadly he got caught.
They also noted that unauthorized streams of illegally obtained (and) unreleased games compromise Nintendo’s prerelease marketing, which is an offense Keighin allegedly committed over 50 times, infringing copyright of 10 different Nintendo titles in the process.ľlľ
Come on… We are not talking about streamimg an old game (modified or not) on an emulator.
The guy played a game before it was even released and streamed it… And not only once, but with 10 different games. What an idiot… Was probably warned and ignored it, just like the court hearing…
If he didn’t sign an NDA, then this sounds like a bullshit suit.
It could be counted as IP infringement, corporate espionage, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, trademark abuse, and I’m sure various other things an actual lawyer would know.
I hate large companies and corporations, I think Nintendo is extremely horrible with a lot of their practices, especially regarding abandonware, archiving, and emulation, but when someone commits various crimes, especially unapologetically and without a just cause, they’re still a criminal.
This is a case of a selfish prick of a man being a criminal against a selfish prick of a company.
Edit: oh and of course, piracy. (Sail the seas fellas, just not in plain view)
