Then don’t ever seek a job with any tech company (or really any large company) because if you make any statements to the press while identifying yourself as an employee (and therefore a representative) of the company without their express permission, then you will almost certainly be fired.

They usually cover “don’t talk about the workings of the company in any official capacity." By identifying himself as a Nintendo employee and talking about their decision making process involving game localization he has made an unauthorized disclosure as a representative of the company. That's grounds for termination…

What was said isn’t important beyond being an violation of the terms of his contract. He identified himself as a Nintendo employee and spoke about the workings of his company in that capacity. That alone is a violation of his contract and he should have been well aware that it was a fireable offense. In fact, he was aw…

No, but he discussed Nintendo’s internal decision-making process involving game localization. That’s revealing the internal workings of his company, regardless of how innocuous it may seem from the outside.

You think American developers don't have NDA clauses in their employment contracts?

Please. Pretty much any tech company has NDA clauses like this in their contracts. You don't get to blame the company because you knowingly violated your terms of employment.

You'd be wrong.

It's the way things are because it's the way things have to be. When your business invests millions of dollars to craft a public image you can't allow individuals to go rogue and put that image at risk. NDAs are a perfectly reasonable means of protecting the company's investment.

Breaking an NDA is a fireable offense just about anywhere.

An NDA is an NDA. Breaking it is a fireable offense just about anywhere.

Treehouse employees have language in their contracts that prohibit them from sharing just the sort of information this guy shared. That's pretty much common knowledge. He violated his contract, and he got fired for it. That's how business works.

They haven't made any bad business decisions. Just unpopular ones.

Whether Geno Smith does or does not look like Jimmy “J.J.” Walker.

The correct response is to remove the bug, then drink the beer.

Still seems unsustainable if they intend to have more than about 10,000 people playing at once.

Yeah, it took 7 servers to keep up with the calculations of one 4-man game here. That doesn't bode well for the game's performance under a heavy load.

My takeaway: It took 7 servers to keep up with one 4-man game. Unless they plan on having twice as many servers as players, I don’t see this working very well once the game is out in the wild.

Eh, it’s a grey area because they didn’t actually mess with any of the existing online components of the game to do this. They’re still following the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

Dying Light highlight isn't listed.

Even if you prove that he gunned his engine and swung the tail of the car around, you still have to demonstrate that he did it intentionally and maliciously, and not simply because he was...you know...racing a car.
