Project M Social Thread Gold

[Comeback Kid]

To clarify: We weren't contacted, issued a C&D, threatened or had legal action taken against us in any way, but we want it to stay that way.

A nonexplanation explanation isn't really the something I was thinking of honestly.

Unless you want us to read between the lines, which will lead to speculation and rumor.

 

[Grey Belnades]

Damn...RIP Lyn.

If this is truly the end, just like in the video I posted, it's been a privilege playing with and talking with you all. But I will never give up hope.

Cheers, and long live Project M!

You have Video Game Attorney saying we've taken preventative measures.

Please read between the lines, cause you're not reading the actual lines.

 

[Strong Badam]

Why? Because this was posted on /r/SSBPM and then hastily removed from the front page.

It's very suspicious.

It's being removed because:
1. Absurd conspiracy theory
2. Slanders members of the Smash community
3. Is either spam itself or derails threads when it's posted in other threads, and thus is worse spam.

It's not true.

 

[SunJester]

Hows the PMDT holding up?

I mean, I took this hard, I cant imagine how it is for you people.

That last line in his tweet is pretty telling if you think about it.

PMDT is kill

would not be

a very untrue statement at this point


if it wasnt for the fact I hate alcohol

i'd be drinking

 

[Grey Belnades]

Hows the PMDT holding up?

If they learned anything from my wise words of wisdom: strong.

 

[Rᴏb]

alright,

I've decided for the time-being I'm gonna go the conspiracy route and suggest that this whole thing is just an elaborate publicity stunt/prank being done as a way to gain interest (which they've definitely ****ing accomplished) so that the next version can rise from the ashes and have the biggest release we've seen yet (big enough to actually compete with something as crazy as Cloud being revealed).

This would allow the PMDT an indefinite amount of time to work on making PM even more amazing than it already is, so much so that people will want to check it out even with all of these big melee tournaments and hype smUsh character reveals happening in the meantime. This would also allow the meta to truly develop in a way that it hasn't been able to thus far.

;_; please just let me believe this

This gonna ring true for so long.

Everyone handled it in their own way. There were tears, love, nostalgia, stories, laughter. It's hard to deal with, for more reasons than you'd think :/.

 

[Raccoon Chuck]

New Conspiracy: The sudden cease of development must have SOMETHING to do with the fact that I got a replica of Sauron's ring in the mail. Upon putting it on, I went into a coffee-driven bloodrage and incidentally slaughtered the lot of Sweden, leaving only Leffen. Leffen, holding his now scarred and broken ego within his arms; decided the only way to regain his former life-force would be to kill Project M and feed off it's metaphorical blood with the legendary Morlock of Seel Ought (Hax$).

Don't be obtuse Warchamp, taking preventive measures because you guys just realized in the last week what murky legal water you were in? Unlikely. Or something more like you were given a heads up, which is very much like a C&D for being sued? More likely.

You guys are being cagey, which is understandable. But don't act like this is transparency.

 

[Zigludo]

so since the PMDT has disbanded and doesn't exist any more, does that mean you ****ers will remove the purple Project M Dev Team flair from your posts now

 

[Zoa]

The devs themselves are dropping subtle hints here.

"In the mean time, we plan to be hard at work on new projects, built from the ground up. We can’t spill the beans just yet, but know that we’re looking towards a fresh start with brand new designs. Rather than splitting our focus, many of us want to dedicate ourselves to this new venture fully. In this way, we hope to maintain the level of quality and professionalism you’ve come to expect from us."

Hylian says:

"That last line in his tweet is pretty telling if you think about it."

In regards to:

"but we want it to stay that way."

When it comes to legal action. They're changing up their image and stuff not to be on the end of legal action for one reason, and there's a big announcement planned. I'm tired.

 

[SunJester]

Well, thank you for years of free entertainment. For whatever its worth PM has got me through some really rough times.

I'm really sad you guys didn't get to finish the way you wanted to, but I'm happy at the very least that 3.6 is the best update you guys have ever put out.

 

[Fowlman11]

I understand the need to not matryrize anyone, but I think the community is looking for someone to blame... (and no, not GimR)... someone's gonna become the scapegoat, and I really hope you guys (the PMDT) are prepared for it...

I honestly believe that in the end, the work you all did will be appreciated, but for now, the criticism and speculation is going to run amok unless more information is provided to the mob...

this flair is the only proof that I've done something meaningful in my life

We are being as transparent as we can safely be. We apologize, and do not wish to cause the community strife. We are not exactly happy about all of this either. Please try to be understanding, even with what little information we have provided.

 

[Mansta]

Here's to hoping the community will get back to playing the game instead of making crackpot conspiracy theories in their basements.

Shouldn't be too hard.

man, if only there was some form of communication one could use to direct people to believe otherwise. I dunno, something with words and maybe speech

oh well, let's just keep never saying anything until well after the damage was done, that worked every time the PMDT did it before right

 

[Grey Belnades]

Obviously the REAL reason why the PMDT disbanded was because of waifus.

I tried telling you guys.

 

[GHNeko]

 

[standardtoaster]

never forget

 

[SpiderMad]

Is there an easy way to back up all my posts in case this forum ever goes missing?

 

[Giygacoal]

It's very reassuring that we don't have an excuse to hate on Nintendo for this.

Obviously the REAL reason why the PMDT disbanded was because of waifus.

As of this writing my avatar isn't the waifu so I am free of guilt.

 

[Wise Multishine]

Just wanted to thank the PM dev team for all the work they did. PM is all I play. Wish you guys the best in future endeavors.

 

[trash?]

like... idk what yr expecting here. you're getting mad that people are misinterpreting or not getting the point, but... we're going off of nothing, that's sort of the argument. people wouldn't speculate wildly if they didn't inherently find your silence suspicious

not to inherently blame it on all of u (tbh, even in the "guilt" that scenario would have, one should still empathize with the horrors of IP law, miserable thing that is), but it's still a frustrating experience for everyone involved

e: actually hold the hell up. why am I still in premium. I paid one time three years ago good lord

 

[Hylian]

Yes, just realize it is just as frustrating if not more frustrating for us. We aren't mad, we're upset/sad.

 

[SunJester]

Its really scary because we don't know the future.

Like, if we host tournaments, are they going to come after us?

Thats literally all we have left.

 

[SpiderMad]

Omg and I forgot this came true (made on october 9th)

 

[Andreas213]

MRW I found out what happened to PM

 

[Bazkip]

We apologize, and do not wish to cause the community strife.

cause the community strife

strife

Confirmed Alex Strife came back from the dead to finish the job of killing PM.

 

[SpiderMad]

If you guys replaced the characters and stages with mediocre models of their animal likeness and different wilderness landscapes, this would have never happened

No one NEEDS Roy, Cougar with sword though.

 

[Ed94]

Welp I just took a closer look at what you said, all I have to say is I can't wait!



P.S. I'm still teary eyed.

 

[Yung Mei]

So I've decided that I'm officially going to mostlyretire from smash soon. I'm gonna go to NY with my friends, make one last vid with Gallo and Nox

It'll be great

F uck esports

You guys are like the best internet friends I've ever had I ****ing love all y'all. If it wasnt for this game I prolly would've killed myself by now

 

[Giygacoal]

Even as a guy that's just a fan, following this game was experience that, given Smash's unusual circumstances with everything from development to audience, probably can't be recreated. Someday I'll be telling someone's kids about the quest to obtain and play the best Super Smash Bros. and just maybe it will come across as both inspirational and sad instead of completely boring.

 

[trash?]

...gotta move forward with what we got, right?

I'm thinking of making a list of every known mirror of 3.6, so if one shuts down a potential newb could just find another. might be neat
