Go Nintendo

"fans were told that it would be delayed till next year to avoid "crunch" working conditions – causing Ninty stock to tumble 3.53 per cent. Capitalism is great. "

Nintendo (and a lessor degree Sony) are pretty much the only large gaming companies that treat their dev staff well. EA and Bethesda shed staff at any opportunity, and crunch has become expected.

When Nintendo has had a poor quarter, the board took paycuts rather than cutting staff or their wages.

Hearing that they pushed back release dates for popular titles to avoid crunch just confirms this for me.

They make good games and gaming experiences too :)
