Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against a streamer called EveryGameGuru, accused
of streaming gameplays of pirated games before they were even released ΓÇö
and of providing viewers access to piracy tools and illegal copies of the
games.

EveryGameGuru allegedly streamed Mario & Luigi: Brothership across five days,
weeks before its official release on November 7. After Nintendo had the
videos taken down from various platforms, including YouTube, they continued
live streaming on Loco and even included a QR code for their CashApp handle.

Nintendo said EveryGameGuru sent the company an email, saying it has ΓÇ£a
thousand burner channelsΓÇ¥ and ΓÇ£can do this all day.ΓÇ¥

DonΓÇÖt anger the house of Mario! The company is asking for $150,000 in
damages per violation of its copyright. 404media did the math: That could add
up to millions, seeing as the suit cites at least 10 games, streamed on at
least 50 occasions.

businesses and creators: a cross between the Focus 3 and last yearΓÇÖs goggle-
like XR Elite. The build quality is excellent, but itΓÇÖs running on aging
hardware. Worse, itΓÇÖs riddled with software issues and is rather expensive
compared to the Meta Quest 3.

The latest patch for the PS5 version of God of War Ragnarok adds the option
