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.

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.

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).

Yeah, avoiding being served is something no court is particularly keen on.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
