Nintendo is Not Just After Palworld as the $62.2 Billion Franchise Sues a Streamer
Nintendo has been too active, looking out for people disrupting the company’s peace by going against its guidelines and causing havoc. One notorious streamer seems to have been on the company’s radar for a while now.
It seems like the company is not just after Palworld as it has now also sued a streamer for streaming pirated games and emulating Nintendo games on other devices.
After Countless Warnings Nintendo Strike Back
The man who has been sued by Nintendo is accused of streaming pirated games and directing his audience towards emulating Nintendo Switch games, sometimes even before the release of these games.
Nintendo took action against the streamer once it got notice of his notorious activities by sending him cease and desist letters and filing takedown notices. The company managed to shut down his channel, but it still did not stop him. Every time a channel of his was shut down, he used to open up another one on different platforms.

He would simply make new channels after they shut him down and sent them a message that said:

All fun and games until they stop going after Youtube to enforce, and go after him personally.

The streamer considered these actions as his fight against capitalism and the rise of video game prices in recent years. He considered himself to be doing a noble deed that would benefit a lot of gamers from all around the world.
Jesse Keighin, who goes by the name of Everguruonline on various platforms, got under the company’s skin by not taking into account the early warnings issued by it. These actions ultimately led Nintendo to sue him since he did not look like abstaining from releasing pirated games anytime soon.
The Streamer Was Resilient Until The Very End
The streamer also contacted Nintendo to tease them by making it very clear that it could not stop him. He made it very clear that he would keep coming back with different accounts the more he was restricted from doing so.
The real cause of the issue was that he was not just streaming pirated games or spreading emulator links but streaming Nintendo games before they were released. Nintendo was closely following his activities across platforms
Nintendo came across a stream from mid-October where he was seen playing Mario & Luigi: Brothership, which was one of the biggest Nintendo releases this year. The game was officially released a few days ago, on November 7th. This acted like the final nail in the coffin in a way where Nintendo found itself compelled to take serious action against the streamer. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
