How they treated professional Melee and especially Project M was the moment I realized Nintendo was just another out-of-touch company. So many indie devs would kill for fans that passionate, let alone a modding scene that robust. Nintendo threw it all away.
Edit: and that ignores the graveyard of fan games Nintendo has killed. AM2R, Pokémon Uranium…
They’ve been shutting down Smash Bros tournaments as well.

Yeah this was my first moment also and largely why I will never pay for NSO+. How they treat the esport community is crazy.
