Nintendo doesn't care if you emulate old games on stream.
They do if it's a live event which I don't really get. Modded smash bros is just not okay at live events but hacked Mario World was at GDQ.
All that aside these games were not only new, but unreleased. He literally could have contributed to lost sales from potential buyers watching the games before they were released.
If they went after some SMW hacker emulating a three decade old game, sure. But they didn't.
By allowing consumers to be better informed of what they might otherwise have purchased?
By broadcasting spoilers and making playing the game pointless.
There's never a point in playing a game if you can't beat it the same day it is released, by that stupid argument.
When you play a game on release date that wasn't leaked, spoilers and stuff surface on the internet at an average pace. Players who wait a long time to play the game will have this similar experience.
Leaked content spreads like wildfire as the posters know it'll most likely be taken down, and well, streisand effect. All communities for the game will be flooded with untagged spoilers before the game is even out. I bet that streamer was basically speedrunning the games to leak as much as possible, which most players who just enjoy the game won't do.
Either way, the money asked for is a lot, yes, however pirating and broadcasting unreleased games is a very stupid crime.
You can avoid these kind of spoilers without much difficulty.
I still don't even know what game he was playing when he got caught.
