Re: Feature: Inside The Twisted And Abusive Culture Of Yasha Haddaji's Nintendo Russia

@NoxAeturnus not sure I follow your analogy there. Are you saying your car part abused you and your friends and/or colleagues? This isn't about a faulty part. This is about human lives, basically crushed by an individual that is highly representative of a company that I have high respect for.

I don't consider a short term boycott an explosion, as I assume this will be resolved soon. But it would mark a point towards Nintendo that we the consumers don't accept this kind of behavior. And as a realist, of sort, I realize that not all would follow a boycott. But if just a few would. A change, that should already have occurred, imho, might come sooner rather than later.

@BladedKnight
I disagree. If I lived in Russia and didn't buy games, it would hardly even get noticed by Nintendo as the only one being affected is Nintendo RU. And a region can have occasional drops in sales. That it's because of a certain individual, would never come to light. It is Russia after all. Instead if world sales would get a drop for a period because of an individual, then Nintendo would be forced to really consider taking action ASAP. Especially if it got big as it would draw the attention of the press and other news organizations. Consumer power is greater than you give it credit for.
It's not easy as an individual, but as a group you can really affect companies.

@yoshinatsu actually he's been involved with a lot more. Drug dealing being one of many, and not even sure you can say that piratebay is piracy, but it is moraly wrong and hurts a lot of creative minds continue their work. This guy is no first time small criminal. And in my opinion, no convicted criminal should enjoy their time locked up.
