TL;DR Summary

Gary Bowser, a member of the Team-Xecuter group of Nintendo Switch hackers, has been released from prison but is still on the hook to pay Nintendo $10 million in damages. He will have to start paying part of his monthly income to Nintendo, and to fully pay off his debt, he will have to earn $40 million before taxes. Bowser's case is a reminder of the power console makers and publishers wield and how they choose to use that in tandem with the American justice system.
