Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against streamer Jesse "Every game Guru" Keighin for streaming games from ten pirated titles before their release. In a filing filed in the US District Court for the District of Colorado last Wednesday, Nintendo accused Keighin of obtaining and streaming leaked titles on more than 50 occasions since 2022, most
Handed over prod.keys and firmware files to anyone who asked.
Told Nintendo “I can do this all day” after being copyright striked.
And set up a CashApp to make money from all of it.
All while using an emulator. That kind of shit makes emulation look like a tool for bad actors and pirates, which is going to ruin it for the rest of us.
It annoys me how often my standpoint on topics on Lemmy has been “I hate the same people you do, but your reasoning for hating them makes so little sense.”
Either way, there’s going to be a fair bit of that here. A lot of Lemmings come to the same conclusions, but the reasons are very different and sometimes incomprehensible from an outside perspective.
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but keep in mind that it’s people like him who make corporations condemn the technology instead of the users of the technology. He’s blatantly pirating, trying to profit off of it, and taunting Nintendo to do something about it.
And what they’re doing about it is not just going after him but also the people who created the emulators, so more people like him can’t exist. Nintendo wasn’t nearly as aggressive about going after emulators until people started using them to play unreleased games, and now, in the span of a year, they took out the main developers of both major emulators.
As someone who suffers from severe motion sickness and uses emulation with framerate unlocking patches to alleviate it, these people’s actions are screwing over me and other gamers with accessibility challenges.
Agreed, but this asshole deserved it. He

Is that directed at me… or?

No, was not directed at you. I was agreeing; Nintendo is stupid and trigger-happy with its lawsuits, but going after this guy makes sense.
I see it a lot on lemmy that as soon as someone is hated doing anything to them is fine.
That makes me like him more.

Good point.
Personally I belive that even absent of people like this, corporations would be assholes.
