It's for this reason that it seems like a bad idea to ruin this guy's life even as an "example". If this guy has anything happen to him in any way that even hints at despair it'd definitely be a meme and maybe a PR disaster.

There's the obvious one, but imagine "Bowser is homeless because of Nintendo" or "Nintendo is so litigious that Bowser drank himself to death" or "Nintendo's lawyers are so ruthless that Bowser didn't bother with cancer treatment and just decided to die in his apartment". I'm reading this in Dunkey's voice in my head and so should you.
