    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.

          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).

              That’s a shitty thing. Violence and rape is ok If you can’t pay? Debt makes sense - you pay damages as you get money.

              Now why the fuck is Nintendo available to get a cent from him is pure capitalism at it’s finest. Fuck that.

        this is why it’s imperative for servers to confirm identity and serve.

        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.

    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.

            That’s a fair opinion. It’s how I personally feel about Switch Zelda.

            I think the amount of stars does make watching speed runs more interesting. It’s more varied than Mario 64.

    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.

    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.
