Re: Bandai Namco Studios Has Reportedly Reduced Its Staff By Over 100 People

"According to the initial article from Bloomberg, the company had allegedly used 'oidashibeya' – expulsion rooms – to pressure 200 employees into voluntary resignation. Effectively, they would be provided with meaningless work in an effort to demotivate them. Many employees would instead use this time to look for work elsewhere."

Um..... Wtf?

Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"

@BTB20 the same reason Nintendo shut down DS wifi, Wii wifi, 3ds wifi, Wii U wifi, the DSi shop, the Wii shop, the 3ds eshop, and the Wii U eshop. It costs money to keep those services running. And eventually Nintendo won’t keep paying to keep them up. If I can’t play Smash Bros Brawl on wifi right now, why on earth would you think NSO will stay up forever when no other Nintendo online service has?
