Yes, but it is also a bit scary / dystopian that a $62 billion company would go to such great lengths to have one of their own customers thrown in jail for using the product that he paid for in a way that wasn’t hurting anyone.
He didn’t just use the product he paid for in a way that doesn’t hurt anybody, he sold pirated Nintendo Switch games. This is literally at the start of the article.
It then becomes very easy to say he took revenue from Nintendo (the “they wouldn’t have bought it if it cost money” argument doesn’t apply), but above all selling pirated material is a shitty thing to do.
That’s what you call an opsec fail
