A few years ago, a group called Team Xecuter began releasing mod kits for the Nintendo Switch.
While Bowser says he only made about $320,000 for his part in Team Xecuter, he’s agreed to pay Nintendo $4.5 million in damages.
With the feds in possession of some damning emails, one member of Team Xecuter has pleaded guilty to criminal copyright infringement and will pay Nintendo $4.5 million in damages, according to documents reviewed by TorrentFreak.
Nintendo claims it lost between $65 and $150 million due to the Xecuter scheme, but that’s impossible to know.
