      Nah man, as much as I might dislike Nintendos business practices, this dude in particular only has himself to blame. Dude literally sold pirated games, signed an agreement with Nintendo to stop, then didn’t. Not surprised no one would want that case.

      Nobody’s going to go against Nintendo pro-bono lol

      At best you may be able to find a lawyer that’ll work on a contingency basis, but they tend to only take cases that they’re fairly confident they’ll win (since they don’t make any money if they lose)

      Nah this isn’t usual Nintendo bullshit, this guy was installing pirated games as part of his mods - he’s brought this on himself.

      Unfortunately the number of people who need a lawyer’s help is far greater than the number of helpful lawyers.

      I really think The Simpsons missed the mark with their “8 lawyers per person” joke.
