we came here from the gutter ourselves

Do what you like, love what you love, have as much fun as you want! You dig playing this game competitively? Play the fuck out of it. You’re angry the company isn’t supporting your re-invention of their old product? Say it, for sure.

Toxic communities grow because toxic people love to collect in the same place.

These comments lmao.

You know perfectly well that Starcraft and Melee are completely different games on completely different systems by -completely- different companies.

It’s not anybody’s job to support a 15 year old game. How many 15 year old games do you see in the esport scene with full publisher support?

It’s a 16-year old game whose comparatively small fanbase has a pervasive reputation for immature vulgarity. The same six players have won nearly every tournament that they’ve attended since 2008. What the hell would be financially savvy about Nintendo rallying behind Melee?

“My community is toxic and borderline psychotically obsessed with this ancient game you made, SUPPORT US FINANCIALLY FUCK YOUUUU”

Blizzard does this stuff. Literally no one else does. They’re the exception, not the rule.

Every other damn company supports their latest game competitive scene, since for them is nothing more than marketing to sell the newest game, as Nintendo does, why would they support a 16 year old game? with a trash community behind? because every knows that the Melee community is garbage and they themselves admit it.

So since it came out that 70% of the people who watch eSports don’t play the games they watch, what is in it for the companies any more to support this stuff? If it isn’t affecting their bottom line, why bother? I doubt Nintendo is loosing much sleep over his hissy fit.

what are you talking about? if nintendo didn’t create the game a such, why in the hell they need to support this scene. It’s not a competitive game it’s a party game. if you want to play it competitively do it by yourself. You cannot force people to do what you want just because you want it. Games are games first and…

Why would they want to support a 15 year old game with one of the worst communities around, with people who frequently curse and act like typical douches? This is Nintendo we’re talking about. Melee is a garbage, closed off environment that is only pushed forward by the players who refuse to let it die because they…

Nintendo is making a Splatoon 2 and Arms championship in the E3. And since 2015, Nintendo is making tourney in the america, asia and europe. It’s not like they’re not making this

Lol, more like thirstybox

Why on earth would Nintendo want to get behind this guy?

Repeatedly swears on stage, then wants Nintendo, a company with a family friendly image, to support this “lifestyle.” Sure, buddy.

> Demands Nintendo be more involved

I was cringing the entire time I watched that speech.

A reminder that the Melee scene is hot garbage and needy as all get out.
