This move aims to follow the shutdown of Modded Hardware, one site that Archbox was allegedly associated with, by identifying anyone else involved. In order to be able to do this, Nintendo is requesting access to the information held on the 200,000 members of the subreddit.

Nintendo is stepping up its efforts against Switch game piracy, now targeting online communities and individuals facilitating illegal activities. Following earlier crackdowns on Switch emulators like Yuzu, the company has filed a legal case in Washington (via Game File) against modder James “Archbox” Williams.

According to sources, Nintendo is ramping up its ongoing investigation into Switch piracy, as the company seeks new targets to serve.

Nintendo is pursuing the ability to subpoena business records from several domains, including Reddit, in an effort to crack down on Switch piracy, with one target being a hugely popular Switch piracy subreddit.

According to IGN, Nintendo is targeting the 200,000-member SwitchPirates subreddit, informing a federal court of its intent to subpoena the platform in order to identify users. It was revealed that Nintendo used Reddit posts and repair orders to track down an alleged Switch pirate.

Nintendo's continued fight against Switch game piracy continues, as it's now set its sights on a Nintendo Switch piracy subreddit which was recently highlighted in a lawsuit against an alleged pirate.
