In a landmark case, Nintendo has successfully secured a $2 million settlement against Ryan Daly, a modchip seller who previously denied any wrongdoing. This case highlights the ongoing battle between gaming companies and those who facilitate the use of unauthorized hardware, particularly in the realm of modded consoles. Daly, who operated Modded Hardware, was accused of selling modded Switch consoles that enabled the play of pirated games, a serious infringement on Nintendo’s intellectual property rights.
