Analogies do not fall under word of god. Analogies are not stories or characters or lore.

Then what happens when most of the fans buy the console? 4.6 million while impressive is still really isn’t because Nintendo has more than 10+ million die hard fans. I see Nintendo dragging this out to ensure demand for as long as possible.

Nintendo don’t have to give out it’s precise strategy. Also it really isn’t illegal about doing that.

You seem obsessed with Jezebel, are you alright?

Well you would be wrong. How did you think SE was able to remake FF14 in under a year? Yes, the team might be CURRENTLY small, but it took a big enough team to remake the game.

KH 2 came out 4 years after KH1, that isn’t unusual. Especially for an unproven new IP at the time. And especially at an Era where SE had multiple competing products.

Executives don’t care if you get thrown under the bus. They answer to no one other than the shareholders. Executives are faceless. I mean in this story, what executive do you blame for this issue? Nomura however is one person, pushing off the blame to the faceless in a way helps to maintain some confidence in Nomura…

In regards to what specifically?

from launch onward we were rebuilding and rewiring infrastructure just to keep the game running at the scale that we were running at

You can always change the difficulty.

Actually, your whole premise is based on the assumption that companies do not have the right to change the content of the game. Nintendo has the right as producer of the content to remove that boob slider, they also have the right to keep it. The only other exception is when a government agency forces them to do so…

Except there are no rules against boob slider, so I really do not see your argument. Other games have it. Like someone who cares more said above, FF14 has boob sliders and yet it is rated teen in the U.S so..... Games get release all the time with boob sliders or even super large giggle.

Not at this stage of the game.

I thought so to, but the first part about the different between localization and censorship makes it seem like he believe localization doesn’t sometimes involve censorship. That was the the intent of my first paragraph.

Integrity of original artistic work means nothing (or it is secondary) to a product created for the sole purpose of being sold. Products whether its art or not are changed during the conception right up to release. When it is change doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

People suck especially online.

I am not one to cry censorship but you are wrong. Localization doesn’t necessarily mean censorship. You can localize without removing or changing (other than language) stuff designed to appeal to the sad pathetic lolihunters or the manchild who like anime boobs. In Nintendo’s cause they usually do both which is…

Your argument is not as strong as you think, now here is another alternative argument. Competition is good because it forces companies to do their best to appeal to as many people as possible. Certain games only exist because of competition. You prefer # of games, I prefer games that I enjoy. Console makers take the…

It is to the benefit of the console owners, which is what sony ultimately cares about. And it is a benefit for people who own a particular console because it increases the perceived value of the console.
