Nintendo just found a way to make piracy cost more than buying every game twice.
Reddit mod ordered to pay Nintendo $4.5 million in Switch piracy lawsuit
A Washington federal judge issued a default judgment Wednesday ordering James Williams, who moderated the r/SwitchPirates community as "archbox," to pay Nintendo $4.5 million and shut down the online stores allegedly hosting pirated Switch games. Nintendo sued him in 2024, claiming he solicited eShop gift cards and game copies for redistribution. Williams never mounted a defense, so the court entered judgment in Nintendo's favor by default.
