I think that we can safely say that Nintendo will no longer be supporting Splatoon with updates or splatfests, and that Spla2n is not coming anytime soon. Although I don't really play the game much or interact with the community much anymore, it's kinda become one with my online persona, I'll always be ThatSquidYouKnow from now on. To go back to Splatoon now would be frightening for me, last time I played it I was an A+ rank charger main, but I played 1 match of turf war and got absolutely dominated. But I can't let this game die, even if I can't play it anymore. Unless we, as a community, start "preparing for the Apocalypse" by making custom servers, starting more tournaments, modding new weapons and such, Splatoon may very well just die and be a forgotten IP. The future of Splatoon is in the hands of the community. Back when I was younger, I played a game that maybe a few of you know, called Lego Universe. It was an MMORPG, but after 2 years I believe, they shut down the servers out of nowhere. Nobody was ready for it, and the community died for the most part. I think it was only 2015, when they started developing the first custom servers for it, and now, here we are, in 2016, and those servers still only grant access to the first few areas of the game. Basically what I'm trying to say here, is that as a community, we need to get together, and think of a plan for Splatoon's future, if we want it to be a game with a thriving competitive community that can stand alongside Smash, and other such titles. Thanks for reading if you took the time to.
tl;dr start making custom servers and supporting the game as a community
