The Website is among the most visited and notorious online hubs for pirated Nintendo video games.
Storman saw himself as a Service Provider, who was not part of the forum itself.
He also pointed out that people who buy games are allowed to dispose of these as they wish.
Eventually, after some back and forths in court, both parties met at the end of September 2020.
However, a week later, he informed Nintendo that he no longer had access to this information.
Simultaneously, the website and the Discord channel went offline, and both remain unavailable.
According to Nintendo, Storman has voluntarily destroyed evidence and expects him not to co-operate in the matter henceforth.
For over a decade, defendant Matthew Storman owned and operated the website RomUniverse.com.
After refusing and then being ordered to produce key evidence, Mr. Storman instead destroyed it.
Hence, Nintendo wants the court to issue a summary judgment instead of a trial in the case.
Storman has not yet responded to Nintendos request.
He has a chance to oppose the summary judgement before the court makes a decision.
