They barely scraped by in 2024 with $1.5 billion in (net) profits, and people expect them to be able to continue to be able to pay their 7,724 employees without raising the price of their games?

I mean, if Nintendo tried to give every employee (including janitors and customer service) a paltry $175,000 annual salary increase, they'd barely have (net) profitted $200,000,000 last year.

People need to grow up, no business can be expected to survive like that!

The saddest part about modern gaming is the developer companies are making huge profits but then they layoff the actual developers that made the game.

God forbid you share the profits with the people most responsible for them. No. We gotta give all that money to the CEO that keeps making bone-headed decisions.

Isn’t Nintendo well known for retaining their staff? I think Iwata took a pay cut so that they didn’t have to do mass layoffs?

(Sorry for interrupting Hate Week. As you were.)

98% retention rate, but how dare you come in here and disrespect us with facts.

redditors and facts? No it's only about feelings here. Monopolies are bad (except when it's steam) and Nintendo is bad because inflation and global economics. Angry at games being $20 more and not the bag of chips that is $7 a bag or eggs that are $15. Lmao.

If gamers actually spend as much effort hating on publishers as they did voting maybe things would improve in the world.
