Nintendo sues streamer for playing pre-release, emulated Switch games
The streamer played and streamed at least ten leaked Nintendo games early, bragged about it, and emailed Nintendo directly about carrying on.
Streaming bootlegged games is a fast track to legal trouble. I don't blame Nintendo at all here.
It's colossally stupid.
Agreed. I hate Nintendo and their scummy tactics just like anyone else, but sadly the law is on their side here. Also, they're known for this. Why would you do this and then double down after they start taking down your content.
I am not on Nintendo's side, but I have zero sympathy for someone who does this to themselves.
Nintendo should hire him to beta test its games. Problem solved.
...why? Pirating games and streaming games don't correlate to skill in testing games.
There are some fires you don't have to play with.
So how have they not solved their issue with every game getting leaked a week early?
When you distribute physical copies of games to stores, I don't think it's really practical to prevent physical copies from getting taken inappropriately 100%
well then they couldn't sue people and that seems to be a large portion of what Nintendo does
Sometime a streamer, he show his pre-release to corporation Nintendo and say "You will never get this you will never get it la la la la la la." Nintendo behind its lawyer. Nintendo cries, Nintendo cries and everybody laughs. Streamer goes "You never get this." But one time Nintendo send lawsuit and Nintendo "get this" and then we all laugh. High five!
To all the downvoters....this is a Borat reference...
We know. It wasn't funny.
I have no issues with piracy, but streaming pirated materials is just dumb. Streaming pirated materials of a company that is known for being litigious? Just put your whole dick in the wasp nest.
That's why this is funny.
Amazing response to Nintendo. Get fucked tendo, get fucked. You control nothing
You know, it's okay to recognize Nintendo's scummy legal practices while also recognizing that in this one single instance they are in the right.
This dumbass contacted Nintendo to taunt them about how he's gonna stream leaked pirated copies. Hard to have sympathy for this idiot for poking the bear.
It sounds like they actually control quite a lot.
Turns out, when you do something clearly not okay and then actively go and taunt the people who could sue you for it with it, they might just, you know, do that. Since you actually went and asked them about it.
Playing leaked games early. Wow, you have no standards. Just hate for Nintendo.
I mean I think the guy is stupid, but let's honestly reflect here, who gives a fuck about some leaked Nintendo game getting played a week or two early. Like honestly, it might not technically be victimless (though even that can be argued), but the 'damage' is so small it's like being upset that someone stepped on your grass.
Oh no, playing leaked games early!
I give back what I receive, so in theory..yes.
Id rather see someone play a leaked game early, then have to deal with some corporate garbage trailer that pulls all the stops to deceive it's fans. I'd rather see actual gameplay, from a normal user then the slop they script.
They aren't selling anything, so what does it matter other then tendo can't lie as easily.
