Nintendo's ongoing fight against Switch piracy has a new target in its sights — and that's the r/SwitchPirates subreddit.

Now Nintendo is seeking the court’s approval to actually subpoena Reddit for user records.

Multiple film studio failed in 2023

Do nintendo think they better?

Nah they just spend too much money on lawyers so they need them to always be doing something.

In the gbatemp thread they wrote that this guy flew too much near to the sun:

  1. Reused his username everywhere to the point that his name and the fact that he was from Arizona was public

  2. Sent back to Nintendo multiple switches to repair using that name with an Arizona address

It wasn't hard for them to dox and sue him as he literally gave them his real address multiple times...

Nintendo: Spending money to stop piracy, instead of making money by selling most of the things people are pirating (whether it be classic games not available for sale anywhere, or not porting Switch games to PC despite a huge demand for it).

It's an excuse for the profit line not going up and a desperate squeeze for a few more dollars in profit for their quarterly that they hope their investors don't realize cost more to fight than made so that the cash keeps rolling in.

This kind of tactic of over punishing the poor relies on the stupidity of the wealthy. I don't get how they don't see it as insulting.

The 'SwitchPirates' subreddit is in Nintendo's sights.

What? Next you're going to tell me water is wet

Sure it is!

See, when water is on something, it's wet.

Water is made of molecules, H2O.

Each molecular is water, in and of itself.

Ergo, every molecule of water that is in contact with another is wet.

Water is wet. Individual molecules of dihydromonoxide are not

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At what point is water water though?

I think the individual molecule is still a water molecule.

We have reached an impasse it seems, pistols at dawn?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Monsieur, pistols at noon is the American tradition. High noon.

However, did you note that you had to specify water molecule to complete your objection? Even in your disagreement, you prove my point! Ha ha! I have parried your thrust and replaced it with my own!

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I have things to do though, it’s Black Friday!

I would also have to define it as a gallon of water, specifying molecule only specifies size in the context I used

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 minutes ago

Stop. Water drowns people. Let's do beer instead.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 14 points 1 day ago

I hate Reddit but fuck Nintendo massively. Twats

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

Reddit pirates? There's still those?
