GoKawiilNintendo wins $4.5M default judgment against Reddit moderator over Switch piracy
A federal judge in Washington ordered James Williams, a moderator of the r/SwitchPirates subreddit known as 'archbox,' to pay Nintendo $4.5 million after he failed to respond to a 2024 lawsuit. The judgment covers 30 pirated games at $150,000 each, including titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Pikmin 4, and requires Williams to shut down his alleged pirate shops and related social media accounts.
