To shut it down, sure. To get information on accounts simply for posting there? They can fuck off.

Nintendo is definitely overstepping with that request, but I can't say I feel bad for the subset of Redditors shitting their pants because they admitted to distributing* ROMs. Trusting a corporation to protect you from the consequences of your actions is a level of stupidity beyond deserving sympathy.

*Specifically distributing. Not downloading. Not discussing. Distributing.
