Nintendo sues Reddit mod for $4.5M, says it’s ‘nowhere near’ enough money

On Reddit, there’s a bustling community dedicated to piracy on the Nintendo Switch with more than 238,000 subscribers and thousands of active users at any given moment. The subreddit encourages fans to support their favorite developers financially, but anyone who frequents it could, in theory, find piracy resources on how to illicitly obtain games for the Nintendo portable. But the Japanese company isn’t just standing by and allowing piracy to happen out in the open. In early October, Nintendo filed a motion against one James “Archbox” Williams, an alleged community leader who copied, distributed, and promoted Nintendo Switch piracy to a wide audience. In retaliation, Nintendo is seeking $4.5 million in damages from Williams.
