Corporations aren’t oncoming traffic. There are laws in place to determine the limits of their power. These laws can be changed. Protecting workers’ rights is more important than an NDAs and corporate image.

Um, no. In fact this case disproves your point. Nintendo is getting a lot of bad press it could have avoided if it didn’t fire this guy.

Well said.

So what? Doesn’t make it right.

Not every single place on Earth. There are these things called unions that protect workers from corporate dictatorship.

So what?

My friend is a union worker. She can talk about her employer all day long without worrying about being terminated. If Nintendo was a union shop, I guarantee he wouldn’t have gotten fired.

So that makes it right?

I like the cut of your gibe!

Thank you for cutting through the nonsense and spelling it out clearly. Why people think corporations should be valued more than a human being is beyond me.

As a longtime fan of Nintendo, I’m less likely to buy their products because of this incident. There are other options out there.

Because corporations are our lords and masters and we are their slaves?

And I bet you think Snowden is a traitor too.

And again I say, that kids, is why we need unions. If he was unionized he wouldn’t have been let go for a mistake. Humans need to be protected from the cold-logic of corporations.

I think the OP did just that. Colamaster was just pointing that out.

Not really. He’s pointing out the OP’s support of a corporate entity over a human being with a family.

Aaaaannnnd this is why we need unions.

Well said.

Why turn that into a crisis or apocalypse?

Interesting comparison. So how does it stack up to Four Weddings and a Funeral?
