Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell...

    This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️

    I saw a docu i think about smash bros. from nintendo, very cool docu serie btw, and the guys that organized the first tournaments got a letter or something that they where not allowed to organize such tournaments (mind you just fans playing the game in a bigger room nothing more) because, and here it comes, the game should not be played like that! Wtf.

    (Ah yes The Smash Brothers 2013)

    That doesn't make it any less vile.

    Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

    Playing devil's advocate, they're just protecting their IP. Problem is they can't spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don't know.
