A US District Judge, Lauren King, granted Nintendo a £3.4 million ($4.5 million) default judgment against James 'Archbox' Williams, a former moderator of the r/SwitchPirates subreddit, after he failed to respond to a lawsuit filed in October 2025. Nintendo had accused Williams of operating multiple pirate shops that illegally decrypted and distributed Switch games to the public. The ruling, reported September 25 via TorrentFreak, marks another significant legal victory for Nintendo in its long-running campaign against Switch piracy operations, and serves as a stark warning to other individuals involved in similar activities about the financial risk of ignoring corporate litigation.
