Here's something that I did back when I was in high school and these Nintendo adults can try it too.
See back when Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released in December 2018, I was a junior (10th Grade), no job, not a lot of money to afford a $60 game, and no car. Of course, I wanted the game for Christmas, it was practically a shoe-in for me since I wouldn't stop talking about it since it was announced that April.
I wanted to go into the game completely blind. The only issue was that the game came out on December 7th, and I had a lot of friends who naturally purchased the game before Christmas or got it as a Hanukkah gift or something. It was really enticing to want to play it before I got my own grubby little hands on it. But I told myself, no. You don't want to spoil yourself.

So you know what I did?

I just... didn't play it. I didn't even look at it. No videos, no nothing. When I saw someone playing it in the hall or during homeroom, I'd just look away and wait.
And when I got it that Christmas morning, it was amazing and I got my ass kicked for most of it because I was trying to adjust to the game feel since I was so used to how Smash 4 played.

I don't really know where I was going with this. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that pirates are gonna pirate and you really can't stop it. If you want to not be spoiled, just... avoid the content until it officially releases. I know that's easier said than done. But I have done it before several times, Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, etc.

Just don't be so terminally online to the point where you can't not stumble upon game leaks. There are ways you can avoid it. And of course, you can just stay offline for a couple of days.

it's not about stopping the leak, it's about making sure that people know that nintendo has the legal right and ability to ruin their lives for even making it possible to infringe nintendo's intellectual property rights

Your honor... sob, choke ...y-your honor, my client had to avoid social media to avoid... sniffle, whine ...SPOILERS! Spoilers for a video game they were... cough, weep ...they were anticipating the game, your honor! And they... gasp for breath between sobs may have had their delight and surprise for the game ruined! a-bwoohoohoo, bwoo-hoo~! 😭😭😭
