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.

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.'”
