Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against a streamer called EveryGameGuru for streaming gameplay of pirated games before their release and providing viewers with access to pirated tools and illegal copies of the games.
EveryGameGuru allegedly streamed Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood over a five-day period, weeks before its official release on November 7th. Even after Nintendo removed the video from various platforms, including YouTube, it continued to live stream on Loco and also included a QR code for CashApp. handle.
According to Nintendo, EveryGameGuru sent an email to the company saying it has “1,000 burner channels” and “can run this all day long.”
Don’t piss off Mario’s house! The company is seeking $150,000 in damages for copyright infringement. 404media has calculated that the amount could be in the millions of dollars, as the lawsuit claims at least 10 games were streamed at least 50 times.
