Yesterday, a big piece of news broke that upset many fans. Specifically, Nintendo released a new set of “community guidelines” for those who wished to run tournaments of a small nature, in this case under 300 people, without needing Nintendo’s permission.

However, as one passionate Nintendo Switch owner noted on Twitter, this restriction has a serious drawback. Specifically, there’s a problem in it affecting those with disabilities.
