“This is what you get for having the name Bowser without our express written consent.”
Not saying that the punishment is proportional, but this guy isn’t exactly a hero.
Team Executor stole open source code from the Atmosphere project and then sold it as SXOS with added DRM that could permanently brick systems.
Emudeck my beloved. Fuck this company.
For the rest of his life?? How the fuck would this even be enforceable?
Here is a Darknet Diaries episode about it where Garry Bowser talks about that and his history of modding devices and Team Executer
Pretty interesting if you have an hour and a half to kill.
That situation is fucked and I’m definitely siding with Gary. He deserves so much better. Fuck Sintendo
I hope Garry becomes a monk that makes no wage. At that point there’s literally no point in continuing waged work

He was part of a team that created devices allowing people to play what they wanted on switch, 3DS and some other consoles. He was convicted of fraud and imprisoned for two years before being released. He still has to pay off a fine of 10 million dollars so Nintendo is garnishing his wages for the rest of his life.
Which pisses me off because he’s on Disability in Canada which is barely enough to live on (trust me…) and also taxpayer funds.Not to mention that there is no way in fucking hell that his part in all of this adds up to $10 million dollars in lost revenue for Nintendo which is exactly why that fine was applied.Edit: Apparently disability can’t be garnished. Was a slight fuck up on my end. I had misremembered something and misread something which led to that. Nonetheless, situation still massively fucked for applying a $10 million (well, 14.5 million but 10 million of that is for Nintendo) fine for a dude who made $320,000 off of the hacks. However if he did make any money outside of Disability, they would immediately be entitled to 30% of it. Fucking insane.
