As a BC resident and lawyer, I gotta say I’m surprised to see the BCSC actually dealing with this as a criminal (rather than civil) matter. It’s very encouraging. This kind of crap has been allowed to go on for too long. And good on Twitch for following through and pressing charges.

The court document I’m looking at says 200, so that’s what I went with. The original report also claims that “mischief to computer data” is an unprecedented charge, which a lawyer I spoke with said is not the case. Thanks for reading!
Small correction, but the linked CBC article mentions that Twitch employees “...spent 300 hours tracing ...”, not 200. That’s a lot of hours tracking someone down - I wonder how many employees were used in those 300 hours?
It’s January. A good time to take stock and reflect on 2017. And for the Nintendo Switch in Japan, what a year it…
That’s not how I understood the article. Which part of it made you think they added issues?

Not gonna lie, this is super weird and a bit confusing, because pretty much everyone on the Kotaku staff fucking loves the Switch and have written about that a lot. Loving the best qualities of the switch doesn’t mean excusing it’s flaws - and there are flaws - but as someone who pre-ordered the Switch the very night…

Honestly, I’m not convinced this is it. Nintendo has been steadily doing a big Direct every January since 2012.
Honestly the main reason for it is most likely time to market. Most devs probably thought the Switch would be a flop. So it’s explosive success has them caught off guard. Adding it to the mix after the fact would result in a lot of unplanned development resources and time for anything they had in the works already. A…
To be fair, Kanye was right. Single Ladies had way more staying power of those two songs
Sounds more like just an update than actual DLC? It’s part of the normal update procedure, not something downloaded from the eShop, and it doesn’t cost money, so... that’s an update, yeah?
