Okay so it's a Big Bad Company vs a Small Bad Guy.

I still don't see the case here, Nintendo is so rich they could trivially advance to the next system long before the Switch gets fully cracked and those cards become readily buyable. If they wanted to. They don't, because they make more money not doing it, which should already automatically exclude them from being allowed to ask for actual damages. As in, the criminal case? Sure. The civil lawsuit? Damages should amount to $0, as no presentable damage was caused to a degree where it affected the plaintiff's ability to do business.
