So from what I got from these 2 tweets and
CEO Gaming's Jebailey (the guy who got linked above) was... what Nintendo did is not exactly "Nintendo's BS" that some people make it seem to be and a lot of games have done it to begin streamlining the process (?) by giving a "blanket statement" to a tons of small non-profits tournament (I thought it basically made them avoid unnecessary legal trouble with what might happen at these events), so they can focus and keep track on licensing bigger (either middle or big size) tournament?
But in Jebailey's words, we still need to wait for the application process to see how it go.
