Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Dismissal of Chris Prangar Highlights Issues With Company Culture

Personal opinion + social media = personal suicide.

The quote "don't bite the hand that feeds" comes to mind, within all companies regardless if it's written in contract or not would have a policy of staff not bad-mouthing their employers/products.
If it's one employee to another in breakroom or outside its less likely to be informed to upper management unless overheard, on social media that can be read by anyone .. Your words are out there for all to see & interprete as they read it or in the case of a podcast how the voice is heard/tone of voice.

I've not heard the podcast but if the transcripts here are anything to go by, he said what he believed to be true - just maybe a little thought beforehand may not of led to his dismissal.

1st time user but long time reader & even longer gamer - kudos to the staff/writers for keeping us u.t.d. with all the latest Nintendo news etc

For all those not have not yet got Splatoon .. It's more than worth it! I've never really been one for 3rd person shooters since Goldeneye & online shooters on Nintendo pretty much passed us by. The fact I play this nearly everyday & even has my daughter -who hates competitive games - plays it just as much shows how much this is a 'fun' shooter without the "you suck" mentality of other online shooters.
Other than Mario Kart 8/Smash Bros/Mario this is the game Nintendoids NEED in their life.
