Nintendo is said to be looking for “new targets” in its Switch piracy investigation

Following Nintendo’s recent investigation into Swap “pirate” James ‘Archbox’ WilliamsThe video game giant is now said to be looking for “new targets”.

As highlighted by Stephen Totilo of Game FilesThe company apparently hasn’t finished the SwitchPirates subreddit yet:

“Nintendo of America (NOA) said its investigation into Switch modder James “Archbox” Williams has given it new targets. These include a SwitchPirates subreddit with about 200,000 members”

IN court last weekNintendo said it was “aware of multiple other online actors that appear to have a role in the Pirate Shop”.

They are now seeking court approval to subpoena business records from multiple internet domains and sites such as Reddit, Github and Discord to track down possible associates of Williams.

Here’s exactly what it says about the SwitchPirates subreddit:

“Nintendo has reason to believe that other accounts active in the SwitchPirates community may also have been controlled by Defendants or reflect other individuals who worked alongside Defendants.”

Nintendo of America believes that identifying such persons will enable it to take further action to pursue claims of infringement.
