  So you’re just making wild assumptions?

    That’s what I’m seeing, unless a documented source eventually shows up.

      A documented source has shown up and you’ve already dismissed it as “silly”. Unlikely any future sources would change your mind.

        What’s that source? You mean anonymous group claiming responsibility being reported in media?

        Conjecture is not documentation.

    What was wild about this assumption?

      The complete omission of evidence of any sort?

        There’s motive and circumstances. Nintendo opened every possible front in the last year or so. Now this happens. Even if not related to IA specifically this definitely looks like retribution.

        Also, please read my first comment again. I think I made it clear it’s speculation.

  You can believe what you want, but there’s absolutely no way you would be correct. Any large company sponsoring a cyber attack, if caught, would be nailed to the wall and made an example of. The extreme risks are simply not worth the comparatively small reward of reducing a tiny fraction of piracy.

  A more realistic and reasonable avenue would have been to sponsor the companies going after IA for copyright infringement as a result of them loaning out unlimited digital copies of books without DRM.

    This is a very valid point, yet companies do shady stuff all the time and some even get caught via subpoenas and such. Nintendo can do it in a way that will never be noticeable on their books for sure.

  For those curious, this account on Xitter claimed responsibility. Their stated reasons are indeed ridiculous, but I don’t at all have a hard time believing that people can be that misguided.
