Leaking this was not a good idea (pic: Nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The dangers of leaking Nintendo secrets has once again been made clear, as the Mario makers subpoena Discord to get the details of a leaker.<\/p>\n

Although it always seems to come as a surprise to those that try to pirate or emulate<\/a> their games<\/a>, Nintendo does not respond well to people doing anything they consider illegal, and they especially don\u2019t like leaks.<\/p>\n

Whereas most publishers would just shrug them off as an occupational hazard Nintendo always tries to find out where a leak comes from and often sues the person responsible, as happened with a major Pok\u00e9mon leak<\/a> just before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The most recent leak was of a Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom artbook<\/a>, which sounds like it would\u2019ve revealed a lot of important secrets but actually contained very few spoilers. But that hasn\u2019t stopped Nintendo going after the leakers anyway.<\/p>\n

Someone using the name JustJulienOffic posted the leaked images on Reddit and then again on Discord as Julien#2743, which suggests that their real name probably is Julien and that they didn\u2019t expect to be pursued by Nintendo.<\/p>\n

To that end Nintendo has filed a DMCA subpoena that would force Discord to reveal who \u2018Julien\u2019 is, including their address, telephone number and email. So much for internet anonymity.<\/p>\n

According to TorrentFreak<\/a>, Nintendo thinks the Discord is the original source of the leak and that by finding out who owns the channel they can track down the leaker in the real world.<\/p>\n
