Nintendo Fans Take Issue With Splatoon 2 Event Getting Cancelled
Nintendo fans were none too happy that the company decided to cancel their Splatoon 2 tournament [...]
Not ideal
prevnextI am not surprised at all by Nintendo on doing this.
Its a shame they promoted an "esports theme" for Splatoon 2 in the Switch reveal, and we all know this won't ever happen.
The community can live without Nintendo. Its tough but the community stands together! Love you all 🥰 https://t.co/fVnFltRbsj

This is sad
prevnextI REALLY love Nintendo but only their games not their customer support, this at least to me is a disgusting move of Nintendo has done, other than cancelling Splatoon 2 Finals stream and Melee's Tournament. https://t.co/YJy4rqhseg

Very wild times
prevnextCurrently over a thousand people watching splatoon 2 on twitch right now with no events going on, when it's normally got a couple dozen viewers. Nintendo definitely took that L today

People aren't pleased
prevnextDespite not playing Splatoon anymore, Nintendo are cowards for canceling the Splatoon 2 stream just because of the FreeMelee hashtags

Been an eventful couple of weeks
prevnextSo... in the course of two weeks Nintendo has
• C&D’d a community melee tournament, The Big House

• shut down splatoon 2 tournaments over the backlash
• and C&D’d a mental health awareness fundraiser dedicated to one of their most passionate fans, Etika
Some constructive criticism
prevnextI like Nintendo, but I seriously think they need to fire their entire legal team and stop being so overprotective of their IP, and they need to address community backlash head-on instead of dodging it like they did by cancelling the Splatoon 2 livestream.
