    I expected him to be selling pirate Switches and/or games. Nope. They are suing him only for talking about it. Insane.

      Uhhh… he literally moderated the r/SwitchPirates subreddit and had ties to multiple pirate shops that distributed the pirated games.

      I don’t support Nintendo’s lawsuits, but people are making it sound like they’re going after some random Joe who just mentioned pirating games in a comment or two. Unless you’re moderating one of the biggest Nintendo pirating communities or working to distribute pirated games, AND are really bad with op-sec, you’re probably fine.
