    It is likely that he is going to get shit canned, but, I hope he purchases a bulldozer and modifies it during all legal proceedings.

    At that time, Daly agreed “both verbally and in signed writing” to refrain from these infringing sales, according to Nintendo. It was only after months of Daly continuing those sales and largely ignoring further contact from Nintendo that the company says it was forced to file its June lawsuit in a Seattle federal court.

    if that’s the case, I can’t see it going well for him…

    Heck, he’d probably have been fine if he just stopped selling cards with roms preinstalled, but kept the normal modding stuff up

        Yeah this doesn’t exactly sound like a Mr. Smith goes to Washington type…

      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.

      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.

    You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.

    Maybe he has something up his sleeve we don’t know about

    Like maybe he’s going to prove that Nintendo was emulating his work all along? (/s)

    This isn’t a smart play, but it forced Nintendo to spend more of their legal team’s time on him, rather than the emulation community, so I support his suicide mission.

    That is definitely not good. A saying among the legal community is that a lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. If he is going to stand up to Nintendo, he should at least be crowdfunding for a professional legal defense.
