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!
I'm confused. They are already killing it (EA has a 19.84%Â operating margin).
I mean, cool and great for them if they manage to pull it off . . .
but also they have like 7k employees and are hand over fist raking it in; so, all considered . . . kinda greedy. Not making more money when you are almost double some of your large competition's margins isn't going to harm your business.
Going from 33% margin to 19% is bad for business regardless how much youre profiting. That means you're spending more money to make less. That's no good.
