The accusations keep coming at Evo including organizers, Nintendo organizers, and now the owner I believe.

Cinnpie and Mr. Wizard are now the biggest names accused.

Capcom and MK have both pulled out so far with likely more to come.

To what degree was Capcom even participating in EVO 2020? Literally every Japanese game was dropped for having abysmal netcode.

This feels very knee jerk. Mr. Wizard did some messed up stuff if the accusation ends up being true, but it really sucks for the players, and there's a lot more involved with the production of EVO than just Mr. Wizard. If he gets ousted after the third party investigation, then EVO is still left with nothing.

I get not wanting to "reward" Mr. Wizard by continuing EVO Online, but I feel bad for the players who don't get a chance to play on that stage, even if it's not really the real thing this year.

I dunno, at the same time I can't really blame these companies for backing out. This sucks, overall.

Someone named Nairo also.

Lots of underage things coming out and a bunch of them being aware and not reporting it.

Microsoft pulling out is basically a given. I can't see any reason for the last 2 to stay in. It's a goner.

Didn't Mike Z get hit as well? Though Skullgirls might still be in it regardless

My impression was this isn't related and is an unfortunate coincidence in timing, though I admit I'm not the most knowledgeable here.

It isn't related barring it is video game scene news.

It is theorized the girl he asked to marry him on social media said no. His brother committed suicide himself last year and people on social media were telling him to kill himself and so on. Etc etc

EVO now officially canceled, MrWizard will be out of the company entirely. I'm guessing the Cannons have to buy out his portion of the ownership based on the wording there

That says to me that they know that and probably a lot more bad shit about Mr. Wizard is true.

Man there is so much that is false with this statement but I don't have the energy to explain. A topic was already previously posted on the board that went over it.

even if hypothetically the incident described was the literal only thing true (which I doubt is the case), this would still be the only possible course of action that would give EVO a chance to recover. People in the community already generally dislike MrWizard (the only possible explanation for why he was such a front-facing figure for the organization is that he owned it), and this story would absolutely never go away as long as he remained.

If they had the third party investigation return completely false, that would make it go away. But the fact they didn't even wait for it when they have literally nothing to lose if they let the investigation go on at this point just shows they know the guy is guilty of that, if not moreso.

Edit: Oh, I didn't see anything Mr. Wizard said about it. Good lord. Then yeah, getting rid of him immediately was the only option.
