Nintendo Hacker Bowser Released from Prison, But Still Owes Millions to Company
TL;DR Summary
Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser has been released from prison after serving several months of his 40-month sentence for piracy. However, he still owes Nintendo $10 million for his role in allowing Switch owners to hack their systems to play pirated games. Nintendo will be allowed to take "25-30%" of his gross monthly income until the debt is paid off. Bowser has only been able to pay $175 so far. Nintendo is known for going after hackers and software pirates, and recently won a court case against Dstorage, a website operator that hosted pirated games on its cloud-storage site.
