Headline makes it sound like he's managed to get out of it somehow, but in fact he's just literally been dodging being served; he's still pretty fucked.

[-] nolefan33@sh.itjust.works 140 points 3 days ago

In fact, dodging while publicly saying that he knows he's being sued is likely to actually fuck him harder once he is in court. And publicly saying that he'll just go bankrupt and avoid paying them anything will also probably fuck him harder. He needs to get a lawyer and just shut the fuck up.

Wait,why is that? Getting sued for millions dollars? OK, yes,take all my money, here is 5 dollars. That's all I have under my name.

A situation could easily happen where they're forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it's all paid off (which will be never).

Ah slavery okay a perfectly fine punishment in todays world

[-] red@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's a shitty thing. Violence and rape is ok If you can't pay? Debt makes sense - you pay damages as you get money.

Now why the fuck is Nintendo available to get a cent from him is pure capitalism at it's finest. Fuck that.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

It is according to the US constitution

It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo has had this

[-] Rbnsft@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago

Ever Heard of the bowser guy?

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

right? The court can decide a punishment can persist through bankruptcy, so him stating that's his intention likely will promise that they have that exception added in the penalty phase.

"no your honor. That was not my account, it was an internet troll account."

  • guy who gets away with avoiding being served

this is why it's imperative for servers to confirm identity and serve.

We are so lucky Nintendo sells shitty video games instead of health insurance. It could always be worse, folks.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah no shit. They haven't released a decent Zelda since Minish Cap (Link's Awakening doesn't count cause it's a remake). Not a decent Mario game since Super Mario Sunshine, either. They actually went backwards with that series, and started doing side-scrollers again! I got sick of 2D games in the 90s!

I just don't understand why people keep giving this company money. They haven't released a decent game or system in over 20 years!

No I'm 100% serious. I'm allowed to have an unpopular opinion, you know.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not a big fan of Breathe of the Wild but Odyssey is superior to Mario 64 in every way imaginable. The game play is similar but the worlds are bigger, the puzzles are more varied, the controls are tighter, more stars to collect, etc. Sunshine is good but I always perfered its predecessor (I still watch speed runs for it.)

For a non-Nintendo platformed, Shadows Legends has the tightest control of any 3D Sonic game. Best 3D Sonic since Adventure 2.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I disagree whole-heartedly. The maps in Odyssey feel so empty and devoid of life. And there's way too many moons to collect, completely ruining the sense of accomplishment you get grabbing one.

I tried to enjoy the game but I couldn't force myself to play it for more than a couple of hours.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

That's a fair opinion. It's how I personally feel about Switch Zelda.

I think the amount of stars does make watching speed runs more interesting. It's more varied than Mario 64.

This dude is literally from my town. What a king

[-] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

If you know they’re on your ass delete all online presence, it’s not that hard. Taunting the courts and/or Nintendo about this will just make you more miserable because eventually the court will grant the exception to serve your family members instead.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 23 points 3 days ago

Why do people keep mucking with Nintendo when they know what Nintendo are like. Just ignore them and their games.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Fond memories of favorite childhood game franchises.

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They've all been on piratebay for over ten damn years already.

SNES NES Gameboy Gameboy color GBA N64

There they are. Seeders, a'plenty.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I get that. Warez aren’t for everyone. Dealing with cracks, possible malware, or a program that might phone home when you don’t want it to. Some might be willing to take the risk, others just want legit copies they can play when they want. The fucked up thing is that we shouldn’t need warez for abandonware.

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The world doesn't run on shouldn't. It's why lockpicks exist, and genocide.

Nintendo is never going to budge, and the only thing keeping Sony and Sega from doing it is no shareholder is twisting their arms yet, but the timeline will eventually find the wrong dude in the right place.

Better isn't something things tend to get unless we do it for ourselves, and with the way the world is getting?

I stocked up a 16TB hard drive with every rom and iso I could ever feasably imagine myself ever needing to download, and I seed every possible torrent that the community pays attention to.

Too much? Overkill? There's no such thing.

If we don't preserve gaming, it won't happen because no one else is going to do it. All of us, we are "those guys". We are the line of defense, here. We have to be the ones to do it.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

We’re on the same page, dude.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I mean sure but these adults presumably read the news and saw what happened to the last 36 people that irritated Nintendo and then they go, oh it would be a gosh darn swell idea if I were to do the same thing as them.

[-] brettvitaz@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago

This is not a “win”

Keighin has confirmed publicly that he is aware of this lawsuit, even going so far as talking with a local news reporter from 9NEWS in his hometown. Following the subsequent publication of this 9NEWS report, it's noted that Keighin did then start to delete "a substantial amount of his online posts relevant to this suit".

Wow, the dude's speedrunning an obstruction charge. I'm pretty sure destruction of evidence is a crime even for civil suits.

Screw this guy, and screw Nintendo's lawyers as well.
