If the subpoena is issued and Discord complies with it, both of which seem likely (I&#8217;m not a lawyer, but I know how these things go), Nintendo will then be able to bring its lawyers to bear on the currently-anonymous leaker. That&#8217;s not a guaranteed outcome, but the company is notorious for being highly protective of its property, and viciously litigious with those who step out of line.<\/p>\n<p>This is where we bring up the case of Gary Bowser, who was sentenced to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/nintendo-hacker-gary-bowser-sentenced-to-3-years-in-prison\/\">three years in federal prison<\/a> (he ultimately <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/bowser-released-from-federal-prison-but-has-to-pay-nintendo-for-the-rest-of-his-working-life\/\">served one<\/a>) and a $4.5 million fine for selling modchips and jailbreaking software for various Nintendo consoles. That&#8217;s pretty ruthless, but not enough for Nintendo, which came after him for an <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/bowser-bashed-with-a-further-dollar10-million-fine-in-nintendo-piracy-lawsuit\/\">additional $10 million<\/a> in a separate civil suit. It&#8217;s an amount he can literally never pay off, but Nintendo&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gary-bowser-charged-with-paying-nintendo-a-sum-hell-never-be-able-to-afford-talks-about-his-life-after-prison-the-sentence-was-like-a-message-to-other-people\/\">squeezing him for it<\/a> anyway.<\/p>\n<p>If legal action is pursued, the &#8220;teraleaker&#8221; may not face consequences quite that severe: They didn&#8217;t sell anything, after all. But as <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22545955\/the-pokemon-company-sword-shield-strategy-guide-leak-lawsuit-settlement\" target=\"_blank\">Polygon<\/a> reported in 2021, an earlier Pok\u00e9mon leak did result in a lawsuit, filed in that case by the Pok\u00e9mon Company, which left the two leakers involved owing the company $150,000 <em>each<\/em>. Given the much larger scale of the &#8220;teraleak,&#8221; I&#8217;ll be very surprised indeed if Nintendo doesn&#8217;t come down hard on whoever pulled it off.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"0c0de81d-43d7-428f-a5f7-5adb80b1cee9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/nintendo-is-trying-to-force-discord-to-give-up-the-identity-of-the-person-behind-last-years-massive-pokemon-leak.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"0c0de81d-43d7-428f-a5f7-5adb80b1cee9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/nintendo-is-trying-to-force-discord-to-give-up-the-identity-of-the-person-behind-last-years-massive-pokemon-leak\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six months after the massive &#8220;teraleak&#8221; that unleashed literally decades of Pok\u00e9mon art, design documents, and other development material upon the world, Nintendo is trying to force Discord to give up the identity of the person behind it.
