being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”
Sentencing a guy to prison and then making him pay 30% off of his income for the rest of his working life is literal slavery. Nintendo is evil and we should pirate more.
I agree with this sentiment in its entirety but the dude they came down on was known for creating ransomware and bricking people's consoles.
This isn't "Nintendo picking on the little guy", so much as a small evil guy stepping on the toes of a much bigger evil guy and getting slapped.
That doesn't matter, the dude worked for the pr team and had the least malicious involvement in the development. Furthermore, he wasn't hit primarily on the basis of the ransomware. Hell, even if he was leading the development, it'd still be unjust. The people who had their switches bricked were never compensated, because Nintendo doesn't give a shit about their consumers and only wants to make profit.
What Nintendo did shows what sort of punitive measures they will take to ensure that nobody pirate their games. Indentured servitude is absolutely cruel and unjust, no ifs; no buts.
at the end of the day, "don't enslave people" is a pretty easy moral philosophy to hold firm on without caveats
the guy could have personally broken into people's homes and destroyed their consoles with his bare hands and I'd still argue that a lifetime of forced labour isn't a remotely just punishment for it
May his memory be a blessing.
Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.
Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.
Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:
"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."

DONT FORGET that coffee and alcohol are BEST FRIENDS with water! They love water so much and miss her when she’s not around! Please don’t put them in your tummy without her or they will be SO SAD.
She is the It Girl of your stomach. The true life of the party. Nobody will have a good time if she’s not there. Energy Drinks and Soda will maybe liven things up but it’s just not the same.
Amazing photograph taken in the fraction of a second where the target doesn’t even know he’s being tackled yet. Idiot.
the real life version of being doomed by the narrative is knowing you have work in the morning
the irl version of being stuck in the timeloop is also going to work
