So since I play at ssbm tournaments I feel this is important to tell some of you comrades. For anyone unaware Nintendo has canceled the Smash World Tour, which encompasses multiple smash bros tournaments, some huge, some smaller. This is in cooperation with Panda, the two are being assclowns basically. What this means is that most of the Majors and Supermajors (large tournaments) coming up will most likely be canceled. Nintendo has even threatened to arrest people because we have no “license.” Nintendo hates melee and right now were in danger. Never thought i’d be harassed by police at smash events not just protests. Anywho…

    They position themselves as the “family” company but they are as ruthless, corrupt and manipulative as any other big company.

    Remember when the Switch was about to come out and they started “letting” people stream their games without prior permission kind of as a way of apologizing for the shitty Wii U era? Then as soon as they saw it was selling really well they backed down and started claiming content again. Capitalist company moment

      I remember, I also remember all the lootbox FOMO esque marketing strategies them employ to manipulate kids and bankrupt parents. They’re scum.
