Hacker Doug Bowser, who sold emulators with Nintendo games, is going to have to pay 30% of his profits for the rest of his life. We tell you the details, below!
Nintendoalways willing to send lawyers to take care of his intellectual property, wants to play the hacker Gary Bowser An example. The boy, a member of the hacker group Team Xecuter he was arrested in 2020 due to being involved for billing “tens of millions of dollars” by selling emulators to run pirated copies of the games. Now it has been revealed that the hacker is no longer in prison for having served his sentence, but his legal journey has not yet ended.
The story, unfortunately for Bowser, does not end here. The hacker agreed to pay Nintendo $10 million in damages, and when he spoke to the YouTuber NickMoses05revealed that the big N will be able to take 25-30% of your lifetime earnings during your working life.
So far, he’s already paid $175 for the work he’s done while in prison, but there’s still…well, several million to go. He seems that going legally against the big N is practically a sentence (heh) of death and their lawyers are pretty relentless.
This is only the most recent case to be revealed, as the Japanese company frequently takes users to court over similar matters. These days, he took legal action against a Discord user who leaked details and images of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. At the same time, it also got a GameStop employee fired who leaked photos of the special edition of the Switch inspired by the upcoming Zelda.
