It'd cost hella money to get a new venue at such short notice.
I think they're trying that right now but you usually have to book MONTHS ahead..

They'd have to find a venue that could accommodate all of the entrants. Considering that the current venue (with very large ballrooms, mind) was booked months in advance the outlook isn't looking good right now.Could they.. Move Apex 2015 someplace else? Or no?
Room next to @ShippoFoxFire's at #Apex2015. Look at the roof.
How the heck was this damage from the recent storm? Didn't NJ end up getting almost nothing from it?
I hope they find a new place.
If you would like to learn more about his hotel, I found some rather.. interesting reviews on their site.

What a clusterfuck this has been so far. Thanks, mother nature, for ruining everything.

Who booked a place with reviews like that?

Gotta blame the people who were running the place first for not making sure it's safe.
If anyone's confused, turn of events is basically:
Garage partially collapsed from storm. Event was okay, parking was going to suck
Hotel says venue is confirmed safe
For some reason, someone triggered an emergency door which sets off the fire alarm
Fire marshal inspects, finds event rooms unsuitable (meaning the hotel lied)
Apex postponed
Garage didn't collapse today, fire alarm guy isn't at fault, the hotel is.
This is more on the people running the location and caring more about collecting the money then the safety of their guest and customers. I'll be very surprised if legal action isn't taken over this. I would hope that perhaps Nintendo would also be stepping in to help where they can. Their people were at risk as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if the issues went beyond just the recent weather conditions, considering how bad it seems.
Garage collapsed, told not to give "attitude." Posted January 25, 2015
... We grab some things to put away in the car before heading to the train station, but when we go outside, we find police tape wrapped around all the garage stairwells and a police car parked outside. They inform us, not the hotel, that the garage has collapsed and no one is allowed inside! ...

If I saw this I would be strangling bitches
Geez, Apex can't catch a break. Hopefully no injuries had occurred, and that (hopefully) some of the event can be salvaged.
We're going to be making a PSA on http://twitch.tv/vgbootcamp in about 2 hours. We'll have an update during the stream. @VGBootCamp #Apex2015
Nintendo definitely had a large stake in this event. Legal action here is pretty much inevitable.
Totally, but it should come from the APEX organizers, not nintendo. Maybe they can give Nintendo legal a call and see if they can recommend a good lawyer.
Everyone got screwed. They should just storm the local library and set up there.

I smirked.I could see Nintendo going back on the Love Hotel business starting with this one .
