From excitement held into anger. Nintendo Direct was held as scheduled, and the news released at the Directly made players around the world doubly excited.
Whether it’s the years-awaited “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Realm”, “Mitrode Prime HD Remaster” and other masterpieces, or the DLC information of “Jet Fighter 3”, “Fire Emblem Engage” and “Alien Blade 3”, the whole scene is overwhelming and surprising.
Knowing the gold content of the 2023 direct meeting, the domestic players who got up at six in the morning to watch the live broadcast immediately posted their excitement on social media such as friends. The overseas players, who were supposed to be in a more “decent” posture at this time, seemed to be less than happy – because Twitter had a “wind up” at this important moment, causing them to The excitement could not be expressed directly.
It all started with Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter. When Elon Musk bought Twitter last year, he made a number of changes to the company, including restructuring the business and cutting costs in various areas. This has led to a number of operational problems, such as a several-hour outage in December last year.
This latest operational incident appears to be no exception. Twitter officials recently launched an overhaul of its subscription service, Twitter Blue, which increased the maximum number of tweeting characters to 40,000 per tweet for subscribers and 280 for other regular users. Not long after the feature was implemented, the ability to send tweets experienced a massive glitch — around 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, numerous users reported that they were unable to post messages on their accounts and that no matter what they typed and clicked “post,” Twitter would prompt them to send more than one tweet. No matter what they typed and clicked “post,” Twitter would prompt them to exceed the daily limit on tweets.
Unfortunately, this coincided with the Nintendo Direct, and Nintendo fans abroad trembled as they opened their accounts and entered text, only to find that their tweets could not be sent out. Not only that but retweeting and other functions were also restricted.
The game is so wonderful, but they can’t even send out an expression of happy content, the long-awaited players soon became the most anxious people on the network. So the anger of the huge Nintendo player group who thought they were being targeted was quickly ignited.
For fans at this point, Twitter, which could not be used during the Nintendo Direct, “has lost its meaning.
So some people think it’s time to find a replacement for this damn social media.

The state of public opinion was so bad that IGN’s official Twitter account had to go to the door to remind the Twitter boss, who was busy at the moment, not to do such a spoiling job at this critical moment.
And eaters summarized the real-time battle and made a concise review of the Twitter situation at the time.
According to the latest news from Fortune magazine, Elon Musk must have seen the netizens’ anger, and he finally emailed his staff to suspend the development of new features and “maximize the stability of the system”. Considering the upcoming Super Bowl, as well as the next episode of the all-network hit show “The Last Survivor” airing, are foreseeable to lead to a wave on social media, when the whole thing again, we may really have to seriously consider Cyber move.
