35:00 - Main Topics

1. Capcom and their new tournament License

Capcom recently updated their community license agreement on February 2nd.
This agreement has the FGC in quite the stir and honestly, I think their anger is justified.

My thoughts on Capcom's new license

It potentially pigeon holds the FGC and competitive players
Capcom is obviously making a bigger push for bigger competitions and wants to maintain control of that attention.
Ensures their events will be the biggest events.
