  • Email from Chris — Hey RJS, first time long time,\\n\\nI wanted to write in about a conversation you brought up in Episode 217 regarding competitive gaming, the new Splatoon league, and Nintendo\'s historic lack of support. That Nintendo UK VS sounded like a bad production, and they need to improve that. I think their E3 Splatoon team is the level they should aim for. Also, I think you\'re 100% right that Nintendo is missing out by not making pro careers viable for Nintendo games.\\n\\nHaving said that, I think we\'re all better off by Nintendo\'s lack of support in this area. By catering to a pro consumer, game developers necessarily must focus on appealing to the most toxic and obnoxious group of gamers. It\'s not a coincidence that Overwatch has a pro league and is also notorious for abuse experienced in the voice chat. It\'s also not a coincidence that the gender balance is way worse for Overwatch than for Splatoon.\\n\\nIn conclusion, I hope that Nintendo continues to focus on gamers who play their games for fun rather than their livelihoods. Streamers like Ninja bring a lot of attention to games, but they already have a million other options to choose from. They also come with a huge amount of baggage that I\'m more than happy to avoid.\\n\\nSportsball sportsball I\'ma hang up and lis\'en,\\n\\nChris\\xa0\\n(@aggrocrog in the Discord where I mostly lurk)
