"Ruined a man's life": MoistCr1TiKaL calls out Nintendo for taking a portion from convicted hacker's salary to pay off debt

sportskeeda.com:

Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL" has blasted Nintendo in his latest YouTube video for taking a percentage of a convicted hacker's salary for the rest of his life to pay off his $10 million debt to the Japanese gaming company. Gary Bowser, who was recently released from jail after being found guilty of hacking proprietary software, will be forced to give up a portion of his salary to Nintendo for the rest of his life.

MoistCr1TiKaL is known for sharing his opinions on YouTube under the alias penguinz0. In his most recent video on the channel titled Nintendo Just Got Even Worse, the popular YouTuber and streamer criticized the gaming company for its treatment of a hacker who has been ordered to pay damages amounting to over 20% of his monthly salary:

This is not the first time that Charlie has gone off against Nintendo, having slammed them for their treatment of content creators such as PointCrow who make content around modding games such as Zelda and Pokemon.

As for the current incident, the YouTuber explained exactly how things played out with the hacker:

For context, a jailbroken console basically has no safeguards or protections guaranteed by the company, and users are able to use pirated games and mods without issue. Now, in an interview with Nick Moses, Gary Bowser has revealed that he was jailed last year in February 2022 and was released from American prison on March 28, 2023, before moving to his home country of Canada.

However, as MoistCr1TiKaL pointed out, despite serving more than a year in prison, the 53-year-old Gary Bowser will still need to pay back approximately $10 million as per the court order. To make sure this happens, the company will be taking almost 20-30% of his monthly salary for the rest of his life:
