FBI busts pirates selling Duck Hunt?!

[Smoke]

The FBI made a bust of folk selling, among other titles, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., as well as the cutting edge classic, Duck Hunt. I love the way it says the FBI posed as “gaming thieves”. A gaming thief? What’s that? A burglar who plays D&D in his spare time?

There’s also the fact that the article claims Nintendo are losing millions of dollars each year on piracy of these titles. Millions a year lost, by someone pirating twenty year old Nintendo titles… How does that work? Did we suddenly slip into another dimension while I was sleeping? I even checked the date of the article, to make sure it didn’t say April 1st!

Nice to see the feds resources are being allocated sensibly… I know I feel a lot safer knowing these peddlers of decades old video games are off the street.
