Nintendo was able to identify an alleged switch pirate in Arizona.

According to a recent lawsuit, Nintendo used Reddit posts and repair orders to track down a suspected Switch pirate.

James “Archbox” Williams of Surprise, Arizona, was sued by Nintendo for allegedly selling unauthorized copies of Switch titles, according to Game File.

The lawsuit claims that Nintendo engaged Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, a law firm, to look into online pirate video game businesses and discovered a user named Archbox, whom it linked to Arizona. After that, it noticed Archbox, a Reddit user who was a r/SwitchPirates moderator. The law firm recognized Archbox as James Williams based on their posts. It comes out that Williams had many Nintendo accounts linked to email addresses that were connected to repair requests.

It is true that Williams, a suspected Switch pirate, placed two repair orders with Nintendo using a delivery address in Surprise, Arizona.

It was only two days after Nintendo sent him one of his mended products that he received one of the cease-and-desists that followed, as you might imagine. Following a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo in March, Jack-in-the-Shop, Turtle in the Shop, and NekoDrive—the pirate stores Archbox was reportedly associated with—all closed.

According to Torrent Freak, Nintendo’s initial complaint states that the defendant “became a leading (if not the primary) moderator of the SwitchPirates Reddit community, which he helped grow to roughly 190,000 members.” “The defendant has sent thousands of messages and remarks to the SwitchPirates Reddit Group since 2019.”

“For instance, the defendant’s posts offered technical guidance and encouragement to other users regarding how to use the Pirate Shops, how to download and install circumvention software, and how to play pirated Nintendo Switch games, as well as messages directing users to the Pirate Shops […].”

Williams did not present his argument to the court promptly, therefore Nintendo now has a default ruling in its favor.
