Bullshit like this is why our industry is a mess, Nintendo may be greedy fucks but their code is good because the same dudes have been working there since the fucken 80s.
In Japan, the barrier to firing workers is much higher than in many other places. Even layoffs for financial reasons are tough and can be challenged. This is one reason companies sit on hordes of cash here is to weather financial issues, but it also has negative economic impacts as well. That said, Nintendo are a bunch of greedy cunts IMO, and I try never to buy anything new from them anymore (just buying used where they don't get a cut).
I think a lot of what comes out of Japan is better than the West because they haven't given up their idea of the company man.
Like it or not, having to switch jobs every few years is going to impact your performance.
Most of you have no idea how much easier it is to process information when you accept that you'll be doing it the same way for decades.
at least the west is starting to acknowledge the torturous monotony of doing the same job for decades.
Lots of people prefer the comfort of familiarity.
