Nintendo Wins Lawsuit Against Pirate Who Boasted ‘You Might Run a Corporation, But I Run The Streets’

Nintendo has won a lawsuit against a streamer who pirated games and livestreamed them ahead of their release dates.

The pirate, Jesse “EveryGameGuru” Keighin, infamously wrote to Nintendo “boasting” that he had “a thousand burner channels” to stream from and threatened to continue to use them, saying he could “do this all day.” “You might run a corporation, but I run the streets,” he wrote on social media at the time. He has now been ordered to pay $17,500 in damages.

Last November, we learned Nintendo had sued a gamer for streaming pirated Nintendo games such as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom before their official release date. Nintendo filed a lawsuit in a Colorado court against Keighin accusing him of not only streaming 10 Nintendo games before they came out, but telling his viewers how to obtain them. The list includes The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

According to the lawsuit, Keighin obtained and streamed leaked Nintendo games at least 50 times since 2022, and provided links to the Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators for viewers. Nintendo alleged these actions amounted to “trafficking” in illegal “circumvention devices,” and insisted they caused “millions of dollars” worth of damage through “lost video game sales.”

According to TorrentFreak, however, the court did not agree to issue an injunction against anonymous “third parties” or order the “destruction” of the devices Keighin uses to circumvent Nintendo’s piracy systems, saying the demand was “unclear” and “unreasonable” without knowing who those third parties were or what the circumvention devices specifically are.

An injunction against Keighin was granted, though, preventing him from “infringing Nintendo’s copyrighted works, including by streaming, and from trafficking in Switch emulators, Nintendo’s proprietary cryptographic keys, or other software or technologies that circumvent Nintendo’s technological protective measures.”

Keighin reportedly did not prepare a defense nor any objections, and the judgment is now final.

Earlier this month IGN reported Nintendo was suing a Reddit moderator and alleged Switch pirate for $4.5 million, claiming the figure is “nowhere near an amount that would compensate Nintendo of America for the seriousness of the Defendant’s conduct.”

The conduct Nintendo references is the alleged “DMCA anti-trafficking violations” of James “Archbox” Williams, a moderator on the Switch Pirates subreddit who is accused of copying and distributing pirated Nintendo Switch games. Nintendo tracked down the alleged Switch pirate last year using a combination of Reddit posts and repair orders.

Fortnite’s adding pets, and changing your invincible banana dog’s colour will require buying another invincible banana dog

You head down to the pet shelter in Fortnite. It’s full. Woof, says one invincible banana dog, I barely see my owner because they wanted me to be a banana dog who regularly changes colour. Alas, this cannot be, so they’ve had to spend their V-Bucks on a small army of invincible banana dogs in a variety of hues. You try to cheer up this Sidekick by telling them that their owner can at least change their name and hat at any time. It provides little comfort.

Fortnite Sidekicks Are Here, Epic Confirms You Can Customize the Appearance of Your Pet Just Once and It’s Permanent

Fortnite‘s Sidekicks, the adorable little pets that accompany you on your Fortnite adventures, have caused quite a stir with Fortnite fans — and not necessarily for all the right reasons.

As described by Epic Games, Sidekicks are new pals in Fortnite that join your adventures in Battle Royale, Fortnite Save the World, Fortnite Festival (your Sidekick will stay backstage), LEGO Fortnite, and developer-made experiences (Sidekicks can only tag along with you if the Island Developer has enabled Sidekicks in their island). They let you “enjoy their company as they react to the world around you.” You can design them yourself, including their personality and physical traits, all of which will be locked in as “permanent” details, but you’ll be able to change their name and accessories — think hats, hoodies, that kind of thing — at any time. And no, they do not offer a gameplay advantage of any kind, nor can be hurt or killed in combat. (Phew!)

The first is Peels, the super sweet pup made of bananas, who’ll unlock with tomorrow’s (November 1) Battle Pass. More, including Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor, are set to drop on November 7, with something for cat lovers coming “not long after.” Bonesy will be granted to players who own the Bonesy Back Bling on the same date.

So far, so cute, right? The bit that’s really raising eyebrows, however, is the cost. As shared on the Fortnite subreddit, prices will differ, with Lil’ Raptor and Spike costing 1,200 V-Bucks, and Flopsticks and Cuddle Team Jr. a little more expensive at 1,500. As some are pointing out, this is a pretty steep price for the new feature, with the Fishstick-themed Sidekick, Flopstick, costing more than the original 1,200 skin.

It gets even worse, though. Epic has cofirmed you can customize the appearance of your Sidekick one time and it’s permanent (you can unlock clothes for them, though and can change those whenever you want). This means that if you want to change your pet’s colors after making that initial, permanent one-time change, you have to buy the same pet again.

“You can customize the Appearance of your Sidekick one time after obtaining it,” Epic said. “You can purchase a Sidekick multiple times and give them different Appearances; however, each Sidekick customization you own in your Locker must be unique. Duplicate Appearances are not allowed.”

“The fact they locked customization behind needing to buy the same pet multiple times is probably the greediest thing Epig [sic] has ever done. Which honestly is a huge accomplishment for this company,” said one unhappy player.

“[This is] the death of reasonable microtransactions in Fortnite,” replied another. “Remember when they released Wraps, and unlike most games where you needed to unlock skins for each gun individually, wraps could be used on anything? Now we’re getting customization locked on bought items. No reason for this, except greed.”

“Either make them this price and have all styles selectable or lock the styles and put them at 500-600,” suggested someone else. “If you do both nobody is gonna bother.”

Don’t forget that Homer, Marge and co. are coming to Fortnite on November 1, 2025, with a mini-season that brings Springfield to the battle royale. Not much is known about it, other than the villainous alien duo, Kang and Kodos, will be wreaking havoc on the Fortnite map once Fortnitemares 2025 comes to an end, but here’s everything we know so far, including including start times in your local area, current teasers, and what to expect.

Grow a Garden Codes (October 2025)

Looking for Grow a Garden codes? Plenty of Roblox experiences have codes, and Grow a Garden is no exception. Way back during the Lunar Glow Event, a code redemption system was added. Since then, however, we hadn’t seen a new code until the Zen Update. Even if they’re few and far between, every time there’s a new code in GaG, IGN will have you covered.

Working Grow a Garden Codes (October 2025)

  • RDCAward – RDCAward (Cosmetic Item)
  • BEANORLEAVE10 – Green Bean Chamber (Cosmetic Item)
  • Torigate – Whispering Torri (Cosmetic Item)

Expired Codes for GaG (October 2025)

Unfortunately, these codes have now expired:

  • LUNARGLOW10 – This gave players 3x Seed Packs.

How to Redeem Grow a Garden Codes

Now that there’s a code redemption system in the Roblox experience, here are the steps you need to follow to use Grow a Garden codes:

  1. Launch the Grow a Garden Roblox experience
  2. Look in the top left corner to find the Settings cog next to the icon of the backpack
  3. Click settings and scroll down to the bottom
  4. Copy and paste codes from this article into the Redeem Codes box
  5. Press claim and enjoy your goodies!

Why Isn’t My GaG Code Working?

Code not working? There are usually two reasons why this happens. It’s either because:

  • The code is expired
  • The code has been entered incorrectly

If a code has been entered incorrectly or is expired, it will say the “code is invalid.” To stop this from happening, we’d recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each of the codes before we add them to our articles. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere, so always double check there’s no additional spaces!

Where to Find More Grow a Garden Codes

If new codes are added to the game, we’ll update this article, so you can always check back here and keep up-to-date with the latest codes. Grow a Garden has its own dedicated Discord server where codes will be announced, as well as game updates.

What is Grow a Garden in Roblox?

Grow a Garden is a new Roblox experience that’s become incredibly popular since it launched. The gardening simulator allows players to show off their green fingers, as you buy seeds and plant a variety of crops from basic carrots to exotic dragon fruit trees.

As fruit and vegetables finally sprout, you’ll be able to harvest them to sell for Sheckles. To go from a beginner gardener to a pro worthy of awards, you’ll want your crops to experience mutations that increase their value. This can happen randomly, with Gold and Big mutations being down to chance, while weather events like snow can increase your luck of a Frozen mutation. There’s also gear, and even pets now, that can affect how fast your crops grow, their value, and more.

When is the Next Update in Grow a Garden?

Grow a Garden hosts new events each weekend, where players can come together and try out the fresh content for the ever-expanding game. The next update is planned for Saturday November 1, 2025.

There isn’t any known information about this update yet. Events now typically run for two weeks, with the first week being the time they’re introduced, and the second week when additional rewards are added to the event.

As always, to stay up to date with everything in the new event, visit our Grow a Garden guide. We put out new content as soon as the event goes live, and keep it updated all through the week.

Battlefield 6 Hidden Room Discovery has Players Developing Theories and Searching for Easter Eggs

Battlefield 6 players are trading theories about Easter Eggs and future updates after one fan discovered a mysterious hidden room in the firing range.

Speculation about EA and Battlefield Studios’ secret room began after Reddit user Mobile_Cyberdemon_as shared footage of their character clipping into a previously undiscovered, hidden area. The unlit space is tucked behind the cramped weapon testing room, with only a sealed door — which features a red “keep door closed” sign — hinting at its existence.

After a few minutes of trying (and lots of awkward crouching) on PlayStation 5, we were able to recreate the moment seen in the clip and confirm the hidden Battlefield 6 room exists. We can also confirm this mysterious hiding spot is, unfortunately, pretty boring, as it only features little more than a workbench and an empty gun rack.

It’s easy enough to see areas like this and assume they are simply unfinished assets left on the cutting room floor, but fans have other ideas.

Battlefield 6 launched just weeks ago, so there’s no telling what BF Studios could have had planned for this room when sneaking it behind the firing range. However, some details have given players more than enough ammunition to start crafting theories about what the hidden room was — and what it could be.

“Judging by the gates, it’s a vehicle hangar in the works,” one fan theorized. “I hope they eventually add a real shooting range, not just one room.”

Other Battlefield 6 fans have also proposed theories related to a firing range expansion, hoping that, if the hidden room wasn’t an official vehicle testing area, it could become one in the future. It’s an add-on the community has shown interest in for some time, as players spent the weeks since launch using precious helicopter and jet spawns just learning how to leave the ground.

Another popular theory suggests the room could could have served as a slightly smaller firing range upgrade that allows players to quickly experiment with different weapons and attachments. Commenters have even toyed with the idea of bringing the flashlight attachment into the hidden room to look for any Battlefield Easter Eggs BF Studios might have secretly placed.

Many of the ideas related to the Battlefield 6 mystery stem from desires players would like to see fulfilled. The firing range enigma could absolutely be an Easter Egg, unfinished feature, or future content update, but there’s also the possibility that players have been looking at the room long before Mobile_Cyberdemon_as made their discovery.

“You can see that stripey background in that customize weapon screen,” one popular fan theory said. “I guess that’s why the firing range loads so fast, because you’re actually in it the whole time.”

“That’s my assumption is when you’re in the menus you’re actually just in that room with your view locked to a UI and with different walls or areas serving as backdrops for certain screens in the menu system,” another player added.

For now, the hidden firing range room doesn’t seem to be much more than an extra space to run around in. While Battlefield 6 fans inevitably search every dark corner for Easter Eggs, you can see how the the online community feels about the first Season 1 map, Blackwell Fields.
