Nintendo has filed lawsuits against two people, claiming that they contributed to the distribution of pirated games and modded consoles.

Nintendo is no stranger to lawsuits these days, and it’s filed two more, as reported Tuesday. One is against the owner of a company who allegedly sold modded Switches, while the other concerns the moderator of a subreddit where users could learn how to play pirated games.

Recommended Videos “Defendant’s products and services not only deprive Nintendo and its licensees of revenue from the sales of lawful copies of Nintendo games but also foster and encourage the illegal distribution of pirated Nintendo content,” it read, adding that selling this hardware causes the pirated game market to “exist and thrive.”

The second lawsuit is against James Williams, known online as Archbox, who Nintendo says is allegedly connected to “pirate shops” that sell “massive libraries of pirated Nintendo Switch games,” according to the suit. Williams is also a moderator of r/SwitchPirates, where he is said to have sent messages to users giving them on advice on how to play illegal copies of games.
