QUTLS Events to be Held on ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ due to Covid-19 Restrictions
QUTLS has announced that all future events will be held online via ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ (available to play on Nintendo Switch consoles), due to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions.
The bold new initiative was announced following reports that Zoom sessions had become ‘pretty tedious’.
During an off-the-record interview with the GSJ, QUTLS Director of Gaming and Border Security, Winston Williams stated, “We’ve managed to get the hang of Zoom pretty easily, plus we’ve already branched out into the furthest reaches of social media when we launched our weekly TikTok competition. Using a wholesome game such as Animal Crossing seemed like a logical next step.”
Some students have been quick to point out that the transition will probably discriminate against all students which do not own a Switch console or a copy of the game. Others have said they would boycott the upcoming QUTLS Animal Crossing events, labelling the newly introduced 50,000 Bells ticket booking fee as ‘more of a rip off than a Nook Miles Ticket’.
In response to such criticisms, QUTLS issued a statement: “If this Animal Crossing idea flops, we will consider reactivating the QUTLS OnlyFans account.”
More to come!
