Nintendo has secured a $2 million settlement against Ryan Michael Daly, the modder behind 'Modded Hardware,' for selling unauthorized devices like the MIG Switch and MIG Dumper. Despite agreeing to stop selling the devices, Daly continued, leading to the lawsuit. The settlement includes a permanent injunction preventing Daly from selling or possessing devices that bypass Switch security systems. Nintendo also gains control of Daly's website and any remaining stock of modding tools. This ruling is part of Nintendo's ongoing efforts to combat piracy and unauthorized game backups.
