Illegal pirate site ordered to ‘destroy’ all playable Nintendo games

A California court has ordered RomUniverse, a site where players could get pirated copies of Nintendo games, to keep permantely offline and to destroy all Nintendo ROMs by August 17th.

Japanese video game company Nintendo sued the website in 2019 for what lawyers called a “brazen and mass-scale infringement” with the company being awarded $2.1 million in damages.

As reported by TorrentFreak, after site operator Matthew Storman failed to make his first payment he received a permanent injunction by the judge to “permantely destroy all unauthorised Nintendo games or other unauthorised copies of Nintendo’s intellectual property including movies, books and music”.
