Nintendo suing man who streamed leaked Nintendo Switch games
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
November 8: Nintendo has been known to take game piracy very seriously, and yet another example of that is now happening with the company’s lawsuit against a streamer.
The heart of the case involves Jesse Keighin – also known as EveryGameGuru – who is claimed to have streamed pirated and emulated Nintendo Switch games, including some prior to launch. Matters were made worse when Keighin continued his actions even after his channels were shut down, informed his audience about how to pirate games, and teased the company. Nintendo said in its lawsuit: “On October 24, 2024, after certain platforms had taken down his unlawful streams as a result of Nintendo’s enforcement actions, he sent Nintendo a letter boasting that he has ‘a thousand burner channels’ to stream from and [he] ‘can do this all day.'”
