Re: Nintendo Cancels Splatoon 2 NA Open Livestream, "Free Melee" Believed To Have Played A Part

@liljmoore how is it entitled to think a company based on the idea of having fun and being all nice would respect that people want to play melee through online means. valve put their fan creations into the game. sega turned a fan game into a reality. they might be in the right but this is anti consumer af, how can you not see that? it isn't even a good business move, they don't benefit from bad press.

@Clyde_Radcliffe listen to me. it's not necessarily illegal to play a game on emulation. if someone legally owns that copy - it is legal. and they don't have to be involved - they could have easily turned away and this wouldn't be happening. it doesn't harm Nintendo and it doesnt stop people from emulating games. I'm sure this has had the opposite effect and has caused MORE people to play Nintendo illegally if anything

can't believe how much you guys would shill for nintendo. spouting off about "smash tears" thats so pathetic. I dont play melee so it doesn't affect me, but how tf are you seriously gonna look at nintendo needlessly attacking these tournaments and still think they're in the right? I love their games as much as anybody but that doesn't mean you have to defend their practices.

they could easily turn a blind eye to this, but they specifically set out on banning melee's tournament "because of illegal copies." if they really cared about that, they could request that everyone at the tournament own a legal copy. but they didnt and shut it down. and are you people really blaming smash fans for this being taken down? really? this is entirely nintendo's fault. All of it. nothing like this would be happening if they had an actually good relationship with their fans and let them play an old game in peace.
