In a significant legal development, Nintendo has secured a $2 million settlement from Ryan Daly, a Michigan-based seller of modded Switch consoles. This case highlights the ongoing battle between gaming companies and those who exploit their hardware for unauthorized uses. Daly, who operated Modded Hardware, previously denied any wrongdoing but ultimately agreed to the settlement rather than face a lengthy court battle. The lawsuit, initiated by Nintendo in July 2024, accused Daly of selling modded consoles and devices that enabled piracy, including pre-installed copies of popular Nintendo games.
