Nintendo are horrible to consumers but at least they understand the value of their staff. That’s something I value more from a company. (depending on the extent of their anti-consumer practices, nintendo have definetly gone too far with their’s)

TBF, even if they’re a shit company to their consumers it’s kind of funny for them to point out they still make boatloads of money while keeping employees since it makes others look bad.
“Efficiency” is smoke-blowing bull for the sake of putting a few more pennies in shareholder stocks. Stable profits are far more sustainable and better for the real economy (where real people spend real money) than infinite growth since having a regular paycheck allows people to continue buying things.

That’s because Nintendo don’t run a studio. It’s a prison, where developers are protected from progress made by the outside world.
This is the only explanation for their online offerings.

That’s pretty nice. When everyone is laying off people by thousands, it’s nice to see a company that provides stability to it’s employees.
They of course aren’t the only one, kudos to all such companies!

This is some weird virtue signalling considering all the other things Nintendo does.

Japanese corporations overwork people to literal death, but at least you’re not going to be laid off 2 months into a new job. Not as big of a flex as they think it is
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
You will never be laid off at a Japanese company.
They will just unassign you from tasks or reassign you to a boring menial task to make you resign.
That way they don’t pay you severence and they pay way less for your unemployment insurance.

They won’t put your name in the credits
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 hours ago
I don’t know when we decided that games should have credits but other software doesn’t.
I don’t see credits for business software. When you shut down Linux it doesn’t go “A Linus Torvalds OS. Written by Linus Torvalds”
Why are they even there? Is it a union thing, like with movies? Did they just need more than “Congratulations, you have finished the game” at the end? Who even reads them? Nobody needs to know who provided the catering at the translation company they outsourced to.

Nintendo, the company that makes gamers pay them $500 for a new console every 4 years, and then $80 for a new skin of the exact same game every 2 years, and calls it innovations and consumer friendliness.
Nintendo is a fuckwad company. You’re just gaslit cause you like a character they made.

i HATE nintendo, they *literally *FORCE GAMERS to pay $500,000,000,000,000 dollars for a NEW CONSOLE every month, and then they have the *audacity *to RELEASE VIDEOGAMES which cost $100,00,000,000 ultra dollars without any care for innovation. just last week they released donkey kong bananza which is a clear RESKIN of far cry 4

I’m pretty sure the Switch 1 is older than 4 years (and was cheaper than $500). And their games are actually quite good.
So Nintendo might be a fuckwad company, but your comment is still full of bullshit.
