Libs cope and seeth when an oligarch that embezzled 12 BILLION dollars is sentenced to death in Vietnam but will nod approvingly when a man's life is ruined for trying pay his rent by modding some pokemans as a side gig.

In totalitären RuZZia you get five years for embezzlement of government funds.
I'm free, democratic Japan you get five years for modding a game and minor scamming
Bruh there's a whole program called PkHex that you can use to do this for free. You're a dick if you're selling mons for $80.
This is about ethics in gaming save data.
For the crime of... modding a children's game...
"The 36-year-old allegedly took custom orders for rare Pokémon, and sold the resulting tampered data between December 2022 to March 2023, for up to 13,000 yen ($84) a time on a website that served as a marketplace for video game assets and items. He also offered deals in which six Pokémon would be created for the equivalent of roughly $30 in yen."
How, with GameShark?
There's a program that you can use to modify Pokémon data, it's fairly easy to do but it's free so idk why this dude was charging people for it
It's called innovation. Commies wouldn't get it.
I’m pretty sure you need homebrew to access the save data, so if your switch isn’t exploitable you’re SOL. In that case paying someone to make the mons you want and trade them to you makes sense to me, though no way I’d ever pay $80 for it lol
This seems like a completely legitimate business.
5 years for making the pokeman go zoom. Literary 1985
Glorious Nippon suddenly seems less glorious when these fucking losers remember that they still have laws. Also is it normal for them to avoid naming a 36 year old man? It's not like he's a minor.
Honestly, they probably wouldn't care if he wasn't monetizing it.
Like, Nintendo is zealous, but mostly when money is on the way.
