I looked at them, and they seemed pretty rickety, so I passed. You can look at them at Bed Bath & Beyond if you have one in your area.

Angering the fanbase is pretty material to me, when we’re talking about a company that distributes IP.

I don’t know that that’s true.

Fired because he went public with private stuff is likely more damaging. But if he’s talented in his field, he’ll rebound. It’s not like he’s Monica Lewinsky.

And what’s a company made up of?

People. People who have to suffer because the company they’re working for has suffered an image hit because one idiot went on a podcast and angered fans, and bad-mouthed his bosses.

How do you miss such a fundamental concept?

Except that it caused extreme discord, and resulted in the 2nd guy in the bosses office demanding more money.

It can be a huge morale hit to find out that the newly hired guy with 0 experience is making more than you are, even though you’ve been there for years. That happens when the market shifts in favor of labor.…

That shows how uninformed you are.

Guess what my first job was?

That’s right. I worked for a couple of years at a Whataburger. Don’t tell me that burger flippers worked harder than I ever have. They don’t. I’ve also worked a summer putting up fences in the Texas heat. I’ve also worked 70 hour weeks building and…

So who decides what’s negligible? Many other statements here imply that the section he worked for is very secretive. Even so far as to specifically include language in the contract he signed that states he cannot do what he did. He signed that contract. Nintendo obviously did not consider the damage to be negligible.

A…

Breach of contract isn’t a triviality though.

Ah yes... the worker’s council. God I hate those guys.

Sorry... I work for a company that was German-owned, and has recently been acquired by an American company. I frankly couldn’t be happier. I won’t go into details, but that policy can have some serious negative repercussions.

That being said, I don’t think you’re…

Serious question: Has the interface gotten less clunky? One of my friends has a 2nd gen Roku, and man, that thing is a pain to navigate compared to the other offerings I’ve seen. Even my old Logitech Revue had a more elegant interface.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Who really wants to pay for something that’s integrated into a TV that will be outdated within a year, tops?

How was that a xenophobic comment?

Question: What countries are those?

That was some funny shit. (Just saw AM yesterday, finally)

But if that Taco Bell exec started talking about the process to make the quesorito (is that really a thing?), and then gave opinions on the personnel in the quesorito labs, he’d probably be fired.

Really? So Sony doesn’t get 3rd party support? Could’ve fooled me.

Or maybe we’re putting ourselves in Nintendo’s position. I’m pretty sure they weren’t happy to let the guy go, but there are so many bad things that could happen to them if they let him stay, that he was no longer desirable.

Probably a lot. It’s pretty common when dealing with corporations.
