Nintendo says it’s rescinding the title of the Splatoon 3 World Championship winning team three months after the event, following the discovery that the team had broken its community guidelines while playing. While Nintendo hasn’t specified exactly what behavior led to the move, members of the team in question, Team Jackpot, were caught sharing racist slurs on Discord, X, and while playing Splatoon 3. Nintendo’s response shows that the kid-friendly developer is willing to take the steps necessary to keep inexcusable behavior off its platform, but that there’s still a lot of room for improvement in how developers and publishers handle these cases.
