The government of Tottori Prefecture in Japan recently listed a Nintendo DS game console loaded with pirated games on its official auction website, with a starting bid of 1,000 yen (approximately $6.8). This listing garnered significant attention. While the second-hand console set may initially appear innocuous, it was equipped with a modified flash card used to run pirated games. Before being taken down, the auction sparked heated debates among Japanese gamers on social media. The console had been confiscated by law enforcement authorities, yet local officials failed to recognize its illegal nature. Currently, the auction item has been removed from the website, along with all related images and bidding options.
