Threats are never justified, but I do see why they did it. "If we cant do it, you cant either" is a pretty common mentality, and this is a surefire way to completely shut down the official events.

The worst bit is now, if nintendo caves at all and pulls back their draconian behavior, these people will count it as a victory achieved via threats and likely encourage their use elsewhere.
