It's irrelevant how much Nintendo made. Sentencing someone to debt for the rest of their life is a cruel and unusual punishment.

(And no, let's not bring up something like educational debt. That's something that's taken on by choice.)

I agree it’s irrelevant. I only mentioned revenues because the parent comment mentioned Nintendo still making ton of money.

And so I was wondering at what point does that becomes relevant.

I’m not entirely sure I agree with you on the cruel and unusual punishment though.

I have a relative who’s in a similar situation because of some unpaid taxes. A fifth of her paycheck goes to the state automatically for example.
