Suddenly I had a vision of IOI Loyalty Centers.

What's really crazy is how hard Nintendo dropped the hammer on this case. Bowser made $320k over 7 years and the fine and restitution was $14.5 million (4.5 of that was agreed by Bowser and Nintendo, 10 was another judgement).

Granted, that all came from selling the TX SXOS to enable piracy on the Switch... and it was like $50? or so per setup so... maybe it was more, but ballpark 6000 units Now the guy has to give 30% of his income to Nintendo forever.

Or just work off the books and never have an official income. But I'll give TX this, SXOS was a great all in one package early in the game.

I can totally see a company like Amazon implementing indentured servants.

Yeah we're on the way there. No matter the amount of dystopias people write, corporate greed is too big and their propaganda too ingrained for anything to happen.

Nintendo needs to piss off. They don't need the money let this guy serve his time or whatever and let him go on with his life. Giving someone an unpayable debt in any situation is morally messed up.
