@SirkTheGod55 @BenjiSales Cause Sony know they dont benefit of Parity, they WANT to be able to keep their position as market leader to leverage their crossplay tax on others. Im sure Nintendo also could care less if this is just lip service.

@NeroHendrix @JWonggg @OmegaTomHanksFL Of course man Im not hating people sided with the TOs due to the work and efforts they do. But when we you say strong arm and trying to get Nintendo to cancel events when the evidence says otherwise. Then it's an issue

@ThatGenericEric @PlayStation Xenoblade was also broken...notice how I can go down a list of broken Nintendo 2022 releases...but cant name a single 1st party PS broken release Lol.

@yoman_5 Alan, as a steward of The Brand, ****** up by not taking no for an answer the first time around. The feel-bads from that exploded, and VGBC adopted a p cynical read on things after Nintendo talks blew up. This is a VERY simple issue:

(@Norou_eva) reported
- Nintendo was not going to issue a license to SWT in the end (whether or not that was always the plan is unknown) and through legal loopholes implied they could take action if they persisted. The statement ”shutting down SWT was their own decision” is not entirely fair.

Finished Alan's statement and my only real takeaways still are as follows: - Nintendo fumbled the most here and had a very poor approach to licensing from the get-go, I'm sure nobody here is innocent but they are the root of the problem - Support grassroots

@AtomicMelodies I think what they were saying was factually true and part of the negotiations, and that the real issue is Nintendo not providing accessible roads to avoid one circuit dominating in that way it seems like Nintendo maybe saw this coming when they asked SWT to be licensed as well?

@IGN Yikes thats going to be awful nintendo has the worst online service of the main systems and Its going to run awful this just sounds like a legal push to help their acquisition. Why wait all these years when they could have done it so much sooner

@jackblack Can the king of koopas put some input into the big ones at Nintendo telling them to fix Mario’s voice. It’s just not the Mario we all have grown up with. Charles would’ve done better. I’m not against Pratt but it doesn’t feel like he’s trying hard enough to voice Mario.

@TKbreezy @Hot_Bid nintendo not panda would never outright say the word "threaten". this is corporate talk. the big issue here is that panda themselves is admitting to dr alan's actions

Invent a problem, offer a solution. Reintroduce predatory Nintendo into the picture, offer the chance to ask them nicely for a license.

@chromeohnine To me, it reads like he's so deep into growing the scene by working on Nintendo's terms, that he doesn't understand why that concept freaks out other TOs. Like he's in bed with the beast and doesn't see why thats a problem

@Xx_Cuthbert_Xx I feel like if Nintendo had more detailed communication with each party, this whole issue never happened. Like what exactly did VGBC went against the protocol Nintendo claimed it violated? Why did the licencing got postponed for such a long time? So much to know still

I could be wrong, but aside from trying to find out who's at "fault", the main problem should be resolved now? Nintendo has declined the notion that they would cancel unlicensed events, and Alan is not (and arguably never was) a threat to tourneys anymore.

@dindjardniera Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I forgot that the only possible way for a legal issue to arise is if it came from Nintendo.

@BradSmi @Nintendo @Sony Thanks. Now remove the always online requirement on PC version even for single player. Console players can play the campaign offline but PC players can't Fix this as soon as the merger is done. 🙏

BTW this whole thing solves nothing towards the biggest problem competitive Smash faces. I'm not happy with the amount of support Nintendo offers, even with what Alan says they offer. Even with saying $0 either way... Nintendo only offers suggested staffing? To me, that's bias.

If there's anything being in the Smash scene since like 2008 has taught me, it's that the Smash scene is INCREDIBLY guarded against ANYTHING Nintendo because of how they historically treated us I know Panda team wanted to fix that on their own but I think it came off as dogmatic

@TheBeastTrevy it took 1 week for VGBC to make a statement on both Nairo and after they recieved the news from nintendo. so why exactly is the time it took for Alan a problem? i think the issue is the impatience in this community. yall just couldnt wait

@LeaderGrev At this point, I don't think anyone blames Nintendo for not investing in the scene. The problem is that, every once in a while, they like to show up and make things worse. We'd be happy if they never gave us a cent as long as they stopped coming after tournaments.

@DrAlanB Alan wanted to work with BTS and SWT and tried connecting them with Nintendo. The exclusivity issue was due to Nintendo refusing to licence any events that were part of an unlicenced tour. Reaching out to TOs already on SWT was simply him not knowing they were taken.

(@AtomicMelodies) reported
@ZeeBeeBDJ The legal issue called into question here is TOs selling tournament broadcasting rights. Alan says that if Nintendo started having issue with this it would be "really bad". Now if I received this dm from a company working with Nintendo it would absolutely feel like a threat

Name cannot be blank
(@RainTalonX) reported
My guess is that both BTS et all and Alan are telling their truth about how they felt about their commnication Where Alan feels that BTS is being small minded, and that by not working with him and nintendo they are shooting themselves, and everyone in the foot

@SammyTheDarn @DrAlanB Only thing that needs investigating is why Nintendo trusted this dude. Actual Anime villain ****. Allen over here creating conspiracies when the real issue is people don’t wanna work with mean greedy a holes

(@Brian_Buckley) reported
The sad thing is that Alan is 100% right about the relationship of sponsors to Nintendo Panda pulling $2 MILLION in sponsors is insane & never would've happened w/o Nintendo's backing. That sort of cash infusion could lift up the entire scene The problem is it's still Nintendo

If both Panda and VGBC were misinformed, where did the communication break down inside Nintendo? Who really shut down the SWT? Was it all an error of miscommunication? Most of all, where do we go from here?
-
Giorch🍞
(@Giorch_) reported
Things that are hard to buy into are that VGBC masterminded this whole idea of cornering Nintendo with SWT and that BTS is putting Smash in jeopardy because of legal issues due to conversations there are no screenshots or recordings of.

@XboxP3 @Nintendo @ATVI_AB Do they know how bad the game would run on the switch ? I love Nintendo but it needs a serious Upgrade to bring it up to speed with todays games cause a lot of issues you see any major game that goes on there
