@GRsmashYT That's the problem, Smash wouldn't exist without them. The unfortunate and inevitable reality is that we have to lobby to get Nintendo to understand how much this means to us and I mean all of competitive Smash and fan made games in general.

@ritvikmishraaa @NintendoAmerica They sent a cease and desist to a big online Smash tournament because they don't want them using a netcode service to play Melee. It's just scummy considering they don't offer an official way to do this.

@TheBigHouseSSB And this is why Nintendo is a joke. I can't stand melee purist but for them to go out of their way to stop these events in these times over supporting is beyond upsetting. Even more upsetting is that they DON'T CARE or bother to #FixUltimateOnline. @NintendoAmerica, fix it

@jycompany_ This whole big house debacle isnt a copyright issue. It just Nintendo being out of touch, tone-deaf, and retarded.

despite being a "nintendo fan" ive been increasingly wary to engage with their products frankly their practices are scummy, from their absurd pricing, artificial limitations of distribution, laughable paid online service and itchy-triggered, lying, catastrophizing legal actions

@ReverendCrush It's up to the fans and other companies that love nintendo ip's to make the games now. Same goes for konami, capcom and others. Major major just pride issues with companies like this. If they would let the fan stuff happen that would HELP BETTER SELL THERE GAMES.

@RadishTrainer The problem I see, is that this does nothing except **** people over for no reason other than Nintendo saying "this is mine, you can't have it." Nintendo isn't losing money by forcing the C&D, it just pisses off fans who want to compete in one of the GOAT games.

@mamababyhands nintendo has a number you can look up for customer service, or an email, and they let you send in your joycon to get assessed and repaired. i had to do this for a guest at target a couple years ago so idk if it’s still a thing

@ShadowOfNexxus @Savestate Obviously most people who are playing melee online probably didn't go through the trouble to rip their own copy, but Nintendo is claiming that *you have to* use an illegal copy of the game which is a very different claim

nintendo, at least have the common ******* decency to fix ultimate online before pulling this bullshit #FreeMelee

@PG_ESAM Nintendo power usual not doing their job for online play, even for just ultimate. And this is why melee is the black sheep, it just creates problems that Nintendo doesn't like

@jakedasenpai @Dread_Fernova @RetroSempai I never said Nintendo was 100% in the right. If anything, both companies have their own set of issues that are not consumer friendly. Sony's got censorship issues and Nintendo's got porting issues with their classic games. And I agree. It's awful that we don't have N64 games.

@UNDRTDmstrmnd @RetroSempai These are all likely launch issues, most of those problems can be fixed with updates. Nintendo's problems are mostly at the management level, with bafflingly out of touch decisions

Holy crap, so many legal issues today. Coming from Disney, Nintendo, and then that 322 page pro se trial request. I just wanna stream again and do work!

@NintendoAmerica Yo, guys. You made the wrong move here. Maybe you should fix your mistake... #FreeMelee

@IronJoeBro @pear139 Like Gabe Newell has said: "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." People turn to pirating games because game developers don't give them any other choice, in this case with Nintendo, literally denying access to their back catalog legally

@arJunebug Nintendo is only part of the law. Intellectual property laws are the real problem. Support the Electronic Freedom Foundation. @EFF

@danielsmain @Qtwo_150 @TheBigHouseSSB Oh. I stand by that. Nintendo doing Nintendo things should not surprise or disappoint anyone. But it's when a company gives you the ok, allows you to work for several years then goes back on that word I have issue with.

(@pepperonisecret) reported
@Emblemmaniac ok yeah but the ultimate segment of the tourney has nothing to do with nintendo's melee problem whatsoever. the only thing that makes the cancellation of this one different is b/c nintendo has unrelated beef with the people involved and that is NOT okay.

(@FarticusNed) reported
@BeepBeep_Man @subtoconnorpls Why exactly is it wrong to steal intellectual property? The reasons basically end at: they won't get credit and they won't get money. Nintendo gets credit. Nintendo wasn't monetizing it. Neither issue is present. There is nothing wrong with breathing life into a dead game.

(@Pepperpengiun) reported
@DagneyTaggart4 @megapig9001 @kensaikik HOW WOULD NINTENDO GET THAT MONEY??? Melee and Ultimate have very little overlap and this is a service Nintendo is not providing, that being a rollback netcode of smash(its for melee but there is no other rollback version of smash). You need to learn more about slippi/melee.

(@ImposterAdam) reported
@L0wMax @IronJoeBro @pear139 You drew a totally false analogy, it’s YOUR logic that’s flawed. The only ethical issue with pirating digital goods is that the IP owner can’t profit from their sale. But it’s impossible to buy the game, thus impossible for Nintendo to profit from it.

Not to defend or support Smash players in any way, shape or form. But, that "illegal copies" statement has no merit nor any real legal precedent. Slippi does not require downloaded/pirated ISOs, so it shouldn't be an issue. Nintendo is in the wrong. **** Smash players too.

@tehMorag Definitely some sort of issue in their automation for DMCAs. Even Nintendo wouldn't be dumb enough for this to be intentional. Strikes lifted by morning I bet.
