Storman was ordered to pay the fee in monthly installments of $50, due to his unemployment, but he missed his first payment. Nintendo then filed for a permanent injunction in order to prevent Storman from reviving the site. This was granted last week.
The injunction means Storman is barred from a long list of acts that block RomUniverse's return in any meaningful way. Become a Eurogamer subscriber and get your first month for £1 Get your first month for £1 (normally £3.99) when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
