Switch hacker Gary Bowser will pay Nintendo ~30% income for the rest of his life

  • I had to double check this wasn’t a joke. The bad guy in a Nintendo court case is called Bowser?!

  • It’s still ridiculous you can even be fined for this, let alone go to prison or have to pay Nintendo. We need some serious restructuring (ie abolishment) of patents and trademarks.

  • Genuine question, not wanting to start a flamewar, how is this any different then products like GameShark? Is the only difference between Gameshark's success and this mod device the current legal climate? Pretty harsh sentence for tinkering with a hardware device users own, but maybe I'm missing the nuance since this group seems to have been selling the devices for profit, or maybe even modified Nintendo Switch units.

  • I mean, he can just setup a company a let anything be paid by company while he formally owns nothing.

  • That's very depressing

  • Ultimate showdown: Bowser v Bowser.
