Nintendo need to sue them for the brand damage when ***** isn't even proven guilty. It would be hilarious. It'll be one Nintendo lawsuit Redditors will heavily support.

Can you imagine spez being sued until he is bankrupt and have to forfeit all his future income to Nintendo for this? I want to see that man beg and cry for forgiveness.
