      Even crazier is that this technically isn't their first time-a few years back, they hired PIs to monitor prominent hackers in homebrew communities (including their living habits and technically public online communications) before approaching them with job offers. Reject, and they'd take legal action-pretty much blackmailing them into working for Nintendo. All this was eventually leaked to the public in a few documents containing detailed plans and naming people they wished to target. At least this time around, Bowser isn't forced to work for them directly and the purpose of garnishing his income was simply to repay a debt that had been issued officially through a court of law-though I still feel it's far out of proportion compared to the actual scale of his crime.

    This is such a messed up case. Gary only made about 300k across 7 years doing this, the least amount of everyone else in the group while the leader made literally millions. They're (currently) charging the "poorest" member of the group with the largest fine. But at the same time, his help in the company with sales helped them, as the court puts it, "Steal about $65 million". So they cost the company $65 million, but Gary made peanuts and is taking the brunt of the punishment. Doesn't seem like a fair sentence to be honest, seems like Gary got a bad deal from the other people on the team that took most of the money and left him out to dry.

      Yeah, the big boss of this op is literally enjoying his life over in France with his Russian model girlfriend in his nice apartment bragging about how hard he screwed with companies while unrepentant about his poor fall guy getting smacked with a ridiculous penalty in the US by one of said companies in conjunction with the FBI. Max Louarn deserved Gary Bowser's penalty far more than Bowser himself did.
      The judge in this case even lowered the penalty to what Bowser eventually got after Nintendo pushed for the max penalty, citing his unfortunate background as an underling who was manipulated into this situation. And Bowser, already living in squalor before his case, is now stuck with a likely permanent debt. While the group he got tangled up with really was unethical and scummy, and there was some justification for going after them, the punishment he himself got was so far out of proportion to what he did, and he was made out as an example to other hackers while Nintendo celebrated his imprisonment while various figures, including Reggie Fils-Aime, basically jumped in poking fun at his name which kinda downplayed the severity of his situation. Really sad how much Bowser has endured and will continue to have to endure because the powers that be were too heavy-handed with him.

      @@The_Steele1 I think it'd be interesting to see if they discourage BotW content production to the point where content creators are afraid to cover TotK when it releases. Without as many content creators spreading the good word, especially people like PointCrow who make creative and novel original content, their publicity might just take a hit and they'll feel how badly they need people like PointCrow to work hand in hand with in order to flourish. However, I do have my doubts that it'll ever get to that point and I'm sure TotK will still have plenty of video coverage, so Nintendo may not feel the burn enough to force them to change policies quite so soon, if ever.
      Nintendo sees CZcamsrs as free advertising just as we do, but in a shallow corporate sense that drives them to control everything CZcamsrs produce so they can force them to only showcase what Nintendo approves of in a sanitised, bland manner, viewing content creators as being like an ad agency working for them for free. Nintendo doesn't want the public eye on glitches, mods and emulation of their games, so they wield copyright enforcement measures on CZcams like a weapon to bring CZcamsrs in line and cancel anything against their guidelines that gets too big.
      Nintendo can dangle new releases in front of us to get people hyped, but I won't forget about their regular horrid corporate decisions while they do. Personally, as a fan, seeing them apologise and take accountability to improve on poor decisions like these would make me far more excited and happy than any new game they could ever release would.

    One thing people forget: Gary Bowser’s company sold these hacking/jail breaking/hardware modding tools for $$$. That’s how the hacking group he worked for stayed in business and was profitable. Gary was a PR guy for the hacking group, responsible for their public image, not an insignificant role in getting people on the hacking group’s side.
    If the hacking group’s products were NOT sold for $$$, if their products were distributed as “Here’s the instructions for your own hobbyist use for your own private hacking stuff on hardware you bought to tinker with for offline use in your own house, we take no responsibility for any console that you brick by accident or any nefarious activity you do with this” Nintendo wouldn’t be so aggressive. Because the group Bowser worked with made money off of those products, Nintendo was far more harsh, because as you could guess anything that can jailbreak or mod a console can be used for piracy and copyright infringement. You have to be careful if you’re in the space of modding/jail breaking Nintendo hardware for this very reason.
    Another reason Nintendo are bearing down so hard on Gary is because they are trying to nail the actual hackers that he was the PR guy for. Make a big arrest and punishment to signal to the group that Nintendo knows the shite they are doing and they are coming for their arses. It’s a brutal tactic, but how else will you prevent people from commercially pirating your hardware? You don’t target the hobbyist in their garage; you target the shadow groups making money off of making your hardware and software security a joke and preventing them from making a mint by making those tools mainstream. It’s similar to a shadow group figuring out how to crack Nuclear launch codes and then setting up a business to sell the tools to crack those codes to hundreds of millions of people over the Internet.
    Yeah, this is a harsh punishment. Yeah, it’s disproportionate to the punishment. No, Gary Bowser IS NOT INNOCENT.

    Hi Ludwig. Some things you haven't mentioned in this video that are worth mentioning.
    The situation of Gary Bowser is a little more than just that. They weren't scorned only because of paywalling hacks, but because they essentially also bricked peoples Switches for a ransom and in general profiteered from nasty activities that harmed others. And secondly, while it's scummy Nintendo went along with the 20%-30% thing, it was ultimately the decision of the courts that handled the legal case in the U.S so it's also "commentary" about how much the U.S courts fucking suck. He should be paying back to the victims of their hacking scams, not Nintendo.

    • @petrri323
      @petrri323 Před rokem +6

      Yes. But Nintendo themselves were the ones to decide how much they were suing for; yes the court approved this astronomically insane figure, but Nintendo was still the one to push for - and request that level of compensation.

  • @project5877
    @project5877 Před rokem +5

    I disagree with this idea that Bowser and the other people at Xecutor are just these modders who jailbreak stuff and that's it. They actively sold products that were geared towards piracy on top of the shitty business practices they took part in. When you are profiteering off of the widespread theft of others, it becomes a lot harder for me to find sympathy when you end up getting caught and punished. They all knew that they would get in trouble if they got caught which is why they were all hiding until they got busted. I don't care how much money nintendo makes, theft is theft. People jump through way too many hoops instead of just saying "yeah I like stealing when it is convenient for me."

    Point to bring up in regards to pointcrowe is that the video with the "first car" is being claimed due to now nintendo's new patterning with the new BOTW2 game mechanic where you can build vehicles.
    Which I find absolutely non-sense since it was a common gameplay mechanic people did in BOTW with the octoballoons and rafts to make vehicle transportation.
    I think nintendo patterned it after pointcrowe's video but I don't have the documentation, I just know nintendo is absolutely crazy with their patterning and anything that comes close will get an actioned lawsuit immediately.
