Unless you’re qualified, representing yourself in court seems to be a universally bad idea.
Shoulda called Saul.
I wonder how they came to that $2M figure?
Is it based on how much profit the modder made pirating games? Or on the “economic harm” done to the plaintiffs?
Nintendo has a reputation for aggressively fighting not just pirates but also modders, emulators writers etc. They’re among the worst if not the absolute worst in that field and I’ve since long made a resolution to never ever buy again anything Nintendo, either for me or my little nephews. Companies understand only profits or the lack of; they don’t care about people complaining if the same people keep buying, so if you’re against that attitude just vote with your wallet. A R36S or similar one will be far from being a Switch, but it’s way cheaper and still damn fun.
This story is not about Nintendo winning the case. It’s about the defendant shooting themselves in the foot by representing themselves.
I really wish some lone hero would countersue, the precedent set here is fucking dystopian.
Not consequences for stealing!
I wouldn’t call it an ill-fated stand, that implies he wasn’t in the wrong, but he 100% was. Whether you like or hate Nintendo, piracy and even profiting from piracy is illegal.
Wonder why this person chose to represent themselves? I mean, a lawsuit from Nintendo is like Lyonel Hutz vs Mr Burns’s boardroom full of lawyers.
Perhaps every lawyer they talked to told them to settle. I sure would love to know what empowered the stones on this guy.
That’s a big fat L
Nintendo plays with power
You really can’t compete.
He who represents himself in court has an idiot for a client
I proudly no longer buy Nintendo products. Ever. Ganon ass company now.
> Nintendo argued that this threatened sales and undermined the Switch’s ecosystem
That’s why it sold so poorly /s.
