just pure idiocy on there part.

pure idiocy? does nintendo make any money on these championships? do the people who host evo championships profit?

if the answers are in order no and yes, then they have every right.

Sure they have the right, but its still a stupid decision. They arent losing anything by letting evo stream, they actually gain publicity. People are playing melee 10 years later, that just shows how good nintendo is at making quality games. they should be supporting this if anything. Theyre one of the few if not the only company that takes this stance against streams and youtube vids, its ridiculous.

Nintendo changed their mind, and pretty quick too.

iso tldr of this fast drama

both those sites dont work for me

its just really slow (actually might be down)

nintendo sent an email to the people running evo telling them they werent allowed to stream melee (evo happens in 3 days), people got mad phoned and emailed nintendo w/e few hours later nintendo changes their mind and gives permission to evo to stream.

Update, 6:38 PM

I’ve just received word from Nintendo that the Evo Smash Bros. Melee stream will be allowed to proceed. We will be restoring the original stream and tournament schedules. Obviously this is a huge relief for all of us here and we’re thrilled that the world will get to see the best Smash players fight it out this weekend. Thanks to everyone online who supported both Evo and Smash, and thanks to Nintendo for allowing us to stream their game.

Here are the restored schedules with Smash in its rightful place.

This is one of the stupidest posts ive ever seen on jsp

Not as dumb as that one post where some idiot tried to say games like smash bros are good because they don't have an auction house.
