    Headline makes it sound like he’s managed to get out of it somehow, but in fact he’s just literally been dodging being served; he’s still pretty fucked.

      In fact, dodging while publicly saying that he knows he’s being sued is likely to actually fuck him harder once he is in court. And publicly saying that he’ll just go bankrupt and avoid paying them anything will also probably fuck him harder. He needs to get a lawyer and just shut the fuck up.

        right? The court can decide a punishment can persist through bankruptcy, so him stating that’s his intention likely will promise that they have that exception added in the penalty phase.

          A situation could easily happen where they’re forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it’s all paid off (which will be never).

              That’s a shitty thing. Violence and rape is ok If you can’t pay? Debt makes sense - you pay damages as you get money.

              Now why the fuck is Nintendo available to get a cent from him is pure capitalism at it’s finest. Fuck that.
