Following Nintendo's recent investigation into Switch “pirate” James 'Archbox' Williams, the video game giant is now reportedly looking for “new targets”.
As he pointed out Game File's Stephen Totiloit seems the company isn't done with the SwitchPirates subreddit yet:
“Nintendo of America (NOA) said an investigation into Switch modder James “Archbox” Williams has given it new targets. They include the SwitchPirates subreddit with around 200,000 members.”
IN court last weekNintendo said it has become “aware of a number of other online actors who appear to have played a role in Pirate Shops.”
It is now seeking court approval to subpoena business records from multiple Internet domains and sites such as Reddit, Github and Discord to track down Williams' possible associates.
Here's exactly what he had to say on the SwitchPirates subreddit:
“Nintendo has reason to believe that other accounts active in the SwitchPirates community may also have been controlled by the defendant or reflect other individuals who worked alongside the defendant.”
Nintendo of America believes that identifying such people would allow further action to be taken to pursue infringement claims.
