Twinfinite writes: The long and short of it is, Nintendo has the right to protect their property, and do they ever. Hell, it has taken them forever to even warm up to mobile device development because of a fear of diluting their product.
On the other hand lies, SEGA, Nintendo’s historical rival and now BFF. Both own some of the most iconic IPs in gaming history, but protect and promote them in quite different ways. Namely, SEGA has slowly softened and evolved their approach dramatically over the years.
Music to our ears.
“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."
Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.
Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.
Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.
LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen
So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games
I'll take the art style thanks
“I would like to say that there’s a lot of space for very high quality games," says Yves Guillemot.
" very high quality "
That's only true for one of the two though, and we all know which one that'll be.
I promise, only one of them will.
And it's the one that is the better franchise and respects the historical context of the region.
Dude’s getting the sweat because star wars outlaws underperformed, and that’s with far smaller controversy compared to AC shadows.
Well of course, but AC: Shadows will be on more platforms so I would expect it to sell more than Ghost.
Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
550 probably consultants.
GTA6 is in tweak phase, no need for massive number of people for that.
Bury them deep, plant an endangered species of tree ontop- body can never be recovered 🧐
Don’t ask how I know this 😂
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
That would be the way to do it. Imagine thinking a CEOs "leadership" is worth that much money while the talent makes the product.
Insanity.
I remember when I started working, my department manager used to gift us stuff each year, one year I got a bottle of Scotch, another it was a small basket of treats... But that was also a lot less money than what we're talking about here.
It would be ideal if the CEO could gift a bonus to everyone under them.
Monetary company bonuses (often referred to as Christmas bonuses) were astoundingly common.
The entire premise of Christmas Vacation was set around Clark's bonus.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
Freedom Planet is how I get my Sonic fix.
Yeah, Sega has never been selfish with Sonic. You could buy one of those small red Segas with the composite cables with Sonic and other Sega games preloaded on it at Target and Walmart. (Well, a few years ago)
