Nintendo is suing a man who allegedly repeatedly streamed pirated and emulated Nintendo Switch games, sometimes before they were released, and at times directed his audience to popular Switch emulators and other piracy tools, according to a new lawsuit viewed by 404 Media.
It’s common for Nintendo to send cease and desist letters, file takedown requests with platforms that host emulators, or sue companies that create piracy tools. But it appears that in this case the defendant, Jesse Keighin, who usually goes by EveryGameGuru online, got under Nintendo’s skin because he didn’t stop streaming the emulated games in response to the company’s usual tactics.
Instead, whenever one of his channels was shut down he opened new channels on other platforms, directed his seemingly small audience to pirate Nintendo games, and at times contacted Nintendo to tease the company directly. The lawsuit shows that Nintendo followed Keighin’s online activity closely, tracking him across Discord, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and a number of lesser known streaming platforms.
