@Kotaku Nintendo just mad that someone actually showed them how you can help get rid of lag. **** sucks. Bummer nintendo doesn't like their fans and their projects too much

bruce is online
(@DSxBRUCE) reported
@probablynotpete @Kotaku no they arent lmfao being "allowed" to do something doesn't make it right. and nintendo is pursuing this on shaky *** legal grounds at best. it is corporate legal bullying to a T. stop defending this ****, if you aren't actively against it you are the problem

@LnnyOsoTo @GRsmashYT the issue here is that someone would have to take Nintendo to court over this which would require them to actually prove their copy was a personal backup AND theyd have to shell out alot more money than what the event was worth.

neekolul but better
(@ShiRuBa8th) reported
@CW64360 @ChellyToms the big house isn't distruibiting the rom to anyone. If it's the distribution of the ROM that's the problem then Nintendo should be attacking the websites that distribute those ROMs. Slippi is just an emulator

Like, when people are (satirically, I hope) saying that people could mod a Gamecube disc to solve the world's issues and it would be C&D by Nintendo, or that Nintendo would rather have people die than play a mod, I start to feel that maybe they deserve a part of this.

I'm not in the fgc or melee community, but this **** is so ******* stupid and petty. If Nintendo's doing this to get more people to play Ultimate instead, maybe they should fix their dogshit servers. Last time I played Ultimate online I was playing microsoft powerpoint #FreeMelee

Nintendo jealous because Slippi has better netcoding than their online service. #FreeMelee

(@Rikushadow5) reported
@pshanley88 This means that if they were using Slippi in conjunction with 100% legal copies of the game, then there'd be no problem? Bullshit. It's Nintendo's job to legally assert that illicit copies are being used, and HAVING an ISO isn't illegal thanks to archive law. **** off, Nintendo.

Should I block any users I find defending Nintendo's decision to issue a C&D to the The Big House, effectively forcing them to cancel the Melee tournament?

(@seanking2919) reported
@FourScore64 As Gabe Newell said, "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." If only Nintendo understood that piracy could become a non-issue for them if they just offered better services than the pirates do.

If my uncle that works at Nintendo doesn’t fox this issue I’m beating his ***... #FreeMelee

(@las_Shark) reported
@JunoLake @bigdinnerplate @Maister_SSB No, but it would be foolish to say that a good portion of people playing on Slippi didn't obtain the game files in a less than legal manner. Something that Nintendo is no doubt aware of. This is likely their attempt to solve that problem. A terrible way to go about it though.

It hurts being a Nintendo fan because the company actively treats their fans like garbage. Don't forget about the court case where they tried claiming that Joycon drift wasn't a big issue facing their consumers. #FreeMelee

@DotZeb It would lose. The court will bd uninterested in what Nintendo should morally do. They will only look at what Nintendo can do. And they are unfortunately well within their right to issue the c&d

@Cyprimm Apparently I’m hearing Slippi isn’t a mod at all and only works on the Internet issues, and that it’s also technically legal. But Nintendo still has the right to shut it down. It’s still very sad. Idk why they don’t just pay them to officially release this stuff.

Nintendo's course of actions this week is clearly disgusting. They don't deserve any of your justification for their actions. There is no real reason to have done any of this, and the community asking for them to fix their mistake has every right to do so. (9/9)

@tj99er @BoiTiniest Obviously we should all show up to Nintendo headquarters in Crash Bandicoot mascot costumes and all simultaneously say into a megaphone: “Hey plumber boy, mustache man, your worst nightmare has arrived”

(@VanishMantleIV) reported
@R4tf1nkDa1sy The issue is if Nintendo does not defend their copyright and IP they lose them. Legally speaking they have to push back on stuff like this when money gets involved. It sucks but events should be on hold like most fighting game events have been on hold.

@Zari_Wari Remember the Wii U/3DS marketing ops where Club Nintendo users could legit get free games? I would have never played Animal Crossing otherwise. They killed the service and never replaced it, so this will never happen again. God, even Sony gave out free **** during the lockdown.

(@OpalisTwit) reported
@64JaiSG @TogeReturns @tommietomm Yep i’d argue they made worse decisions before. But those decisions weren’t as widely discussed online bc Nintendo was, for the most part, ignored as they were considered too casual. Only now with the Switch does Nintendo have eVEryone’s attention so issues feel more prominent.

@TheChaseYD Guys prep hosting a Smash tourney, looks like Melee. Heavily promote they are going to do it Nintendo issues C&D "nope ain't gonna happen shut it down" Event peeps upset N says well illegally used copies of Melee were being used for this event but we love our fans The end

@TheNo1Alex What @NintendoAmerica needs to do is work with the completive seen to make sure they have legit copies of Melee and try to approve the software to allow a temporary online service

(@CCriticalDev) reported
@ItsRocket14 @DarkGenex That's the issue, even If 100% of slippi users have a pirated version that was leaked online, There is no imperial way to confirm or deny it. On top of this, Nintendo Sponsored Majors have run setups off of USB Drives before, and nobody batted an Eye. So what ********?

@MonkeyDErkpo1 Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. It seems the big problem is that they were using a modded version of the game. But still, Nintendo....wtf
