- moi2388 3y agoIt’s still ridiculous you can even be fined for this, let alone go to prison or have to pay Nintendo. We need some serious restructuring (ie abolishment) of patents and trademarks.

- droobles 3y agoGenuine question, not wanting to start a flamewar, how is this any different then products like GameShark? Is the only difference between Gameshark's success and this mod device the current legal climate? Pretty harsh sentence for tinkering with a hardware device users own, but maybe I'm missing the nuance since this group seems to have been selling the devices for profit, or maybe even modified Nintendo Switch units.
- dagmx 3y agoGameSharks don’t circumvent DRM. They modify memory in place for a running process. They’re more like a debugger. I don’t necessarily agree with the sentencing, just answering your question.
