The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo’s nemesis for years. The operation was carried out in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, including the Dutch fiscal police. It is not immediately clear whether the action is linked to any arrests or indictments.

    Just the domains? They’ll be back under new names in a couple days max.

    Ahhh, there’s the real reason. Nintendo put pressure on the FBI, because Nintendo.

    I feel like putting up games before they’re released is just asking for trouble. I’m kind of surprised it took so long.
