Oh, the horror! I guess that justifies ruining his life forever.

Who gives a fuck that doesn’t entitle them to ruin his life.

Ah yes, the despicable crime of selling bootlegs can only be punished by permanent service to a billion dollar company. Makes sense.

I disagree with selling pirated roms but, he also wasn't part of the development team he was closer to a sales associate then anything. the punishment given to him was cruel and unusable and honestly a failure of the legal system.

I see this on the same level as forcing a sales associate at Walmart to pay the fine of all the wage violations the company as a whole did. It's rediculous.

I personally will never be buying a Nintendo product again out of principle.

I thought he was selling chips that let you do piracy

Either way, he and his descendants should be indentured servants to Nintendo. His lineage must be shamed.

yes that was what he was doing was selling Hardware mod chips that you could hook to it to be able to run custom firmware which allowed you to pirate games, the issue stemmed from how they were advertising the project. They weren't advertising the project as a run your own custom firmware/ backup solution, they were selling the product with the intent that it was being used to pirate
