Vee, i give you a tip. Look into what Narrative Designers do. They have their Fingers in every Department of the Development of the Game. Perfect Job for the DEI People.
As for DEI. Keep in mind that when Illumination wanted Peach to be the hero of the Mario movie it was Nintendo that said "No, rewrite it and make Mario the hero of his movie."
While I hope it was a push against "change for change sake", it may be more about their mascot/image protection than specifically being anti-DEI. They know Mario is the draw. They are hyper protective against pollution/corruption to their image (painfully so sometimes). If they are willing to Cease and Desist a Smash Brothers tourney, they are not going to bend for some whiny bums. It's good that they have a backbone against the DEI push, but it isn't because they "aren't DEI", and moreso "hyper corporate", lol. It does show all the others, though, that you can still succeed and even excel when you deny the "change to DEI for change sake". Don't worry about how "loud" it sounds... ignore them, do your product well like you used to, and watch the money come in.

Sure, Mario in his movie may not have been sidelined, but it’s far from being unaffected by progressive ideology. -Peach is a girl boss instead of an intelligent, but dainty and sweet woman. People excuse this by saying “they needed to give her a more active role” but 1) you don’t have to be in a fight to be useful or active, and 2) even in games where she DOES fight directly, she still has that feminine poise about her. Not here though. She’s just the typical smug, girl boss. The funny thing is, people say her character archetype was “a stereotypical princess” but so few protagonist female characters actually GET to be like that any more and haven’t for at least a decade. Not even just because “their story doesn’t have a princess” but just having a more timid/composed female character. -Peach definitely wouldn’t be grabbing a halberd and charging into battle, but use magic or minions. You might have enemies using spears in games, but the most you’d see even Mario using as a weapon is a cartoonishly-sized hammer. Nothing that could stab or maim or slice. It’s out of place for any of the good guys to use, let alone Peach. -Mario doesn’t get to save Peach at any point despite being a common staple in most of the games. -Luigi is the “damsel in distress” because that trope has been banned for the last 10-15 years, unless it’s a man that’s in distress or a woman… but only if she frees herself because “she’s a strong independent woman”. -Mario hates mushrooms, just to be subversive. They’ll say it’s to be “funny”, but it’s really just to have a scene where a male character is disgusted by something. Which is different than finding something uncomfortable and overcoming it as a challenge, because you can’t “overcome” tastebuds and it doesn’t accomplish anything. Most of Mario’s powerups aren’t even mushrooms anyway so it’s not like you could use it as “he’s overcoming the taste to gain powers to save people” as a selfless act, because stars, tanuki leaves, and cat bells are just absorbed instead of eaten. -It’s titled Super Mario *_Brothers_* Movie, yet the _brothers_ are separated for 90% of the movie, and don’t get to grow/develop alongside each other in the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s only right at the end. There’s probably more I’m forgetting that would be a result of political ideology (switching between scenes too quickly wouldn’t be one, just a general movie issue), but those are off the top of my head. It jam packs in enough references and doesn’t take a big obvious dump on everything, so people will say it’s amazing because standards have gotten so low. The change to Peach is the most obvious, but people gaslight themselves into thinking it’s needed or okay, because apparently if you aren’t punching something you’re worthless. I can see not wanting to have Peach locked away for most of the movie, and that could be done. But I also think developing her more in the 2nd movie would be better, and have the 1st movie focus much more on the brothers themselves.
I might be white pilling a bit too much here, but I like to think part of that decision came from Concord failing. The investors saw that and didn’t want Nintendo to repeat what Sony did.

Partly. But it's also that they're a very old company with a long history that they want to preserve. And also probably that they're still tied to some degree to the Yakuza, since they absolutely were tied to the Yakuza back in the 60's - 80's.

@@Xplora213 except having the ceiling that low for the highest earner, means that all the other managers make less too. there are only five people in the company of seven thousand that make over a million.

They compensate their workers very well.
I still genuinely have no idea why any game dev studio thinks that hiring a "consultant" is a good use of money. Those folks are literally worthless. Like seriously, that one coworker's service dog at the office would contribute more to the project.
Its basically an extortion scheme. The DEI consultants threaten with bad press and acusations of sexism acism in social media wich might afect sales, in return for money and jobs they'll ensure a "good" public image of the company and their products. But in the real world these people are nobodies, no one cares about their false acusations and their participation in games actually makes them harder to sell.
I've been saying that the main problem with the games industry is general bloat. There is a massive waste of resources and creativity is hindered because of ideology.
This is an issue in tech in general because it generated so much money. They're all leeches trying to get a slice of the pie. You have project managers at videogame companies that have never really played videogames in their life.

Mickey Mouse as a character is basically abandoned IP.
Well they did also bring us Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope which got its last DLC not too long ago, so that part didn't change much. But Mario + Rabbids WAS the creative brainchild of a specific division/studio within Ubisoft that was genuinely passionate about it, not Ubisoft as a whole, so it's still different.
they lasted pretty long against everyone else pushing stuff at them. When everyone was going to CD, Nintendo stays with Carts, and even when they went to discs, they pretty much did their own format. When everyone was pushing graphics, Nintendo went for performance and stylization.
@@surogunerNintendo are hiring based on DEI now, and have been censoring their games in line with progressive social issues for awhile. Why do you think they suddenly JUST had to have a Peach game and a Zelda game made at the same time after 20 years?
Nintendo still needs to get rid of Treehouse and revert any changes they and anyone else who worked for them made in the past few years. A friend might be giving me his copy of the TTYD remake and I know I'm gonna be pissed at that "I'm their sister, not their brother" line, which was not in _any_ version of the original games.
Also treehouse is bound to get rid of them sooner or later. As for reverting changes, if it will happen, it’s going to be in the switch gen or next gen.
If you haven’t already, it’s easy to mod your Switch and there’s mods to change those lines. They’re not on GameBanana because of “intent” even though it’s just restoring part of the OG GC dialogue. And even though they let some guy make black race-swapped “BLM” versions of every Smash Bros fighter. But you can find it on “RPG HQ”. Thing I hate about “modders will fix it” as a retort, is it essentially excuses changes to be done because “someone out there will fix it”, puts pressure on the community to do their work, but also… no, sometimes modders don’t fix it. At all, or they’ll start and give up partway through. It’s fine for extra things like ridiculous hard modes or costumes or things that realistically wouldn’t (or couldn’t due to licensing) be done, but there’s a line where it shouldn’t be necessary.

Nintendo's worst failure, the Virtual Boy, and in particular its two Mario games are many times more successful than Concord is and recent Ubisoft games have been. The best part is, you can still play Virtual Boy games while Concord has been erased from history.
Several consoles that didn't have great success like the Mega Drive in Japan or the TurboGrafx-16 in the US were much more successful than those. Just like the Virtual Boy library, all of the games in both consoles' histories are still fully playable to this day.

@@matthewhammond9575 Not to mention how many laws are being pushed to force this stuff. The EU just forced everyone to follow the rules of the D, E, and I if their product is purchaseable in the EU. This goes so far that someone that makes screws and sells them to a company that puts it in a product sold in the EU is forced to comply or can be fined/sued/whatever. So I'd suspect that Nintendo is forced to comply a little bit here and there in order to not get attacked. Like how in the Mario movie they had to let Illumination change Peach's character, but forced them to still make Mario the hero. They couldn't stop them entirely without raising huge trouble for themselves, but they could reign them in a little.
@@kusog3 The difference there is that there's no reason to not publish the game. As long there isn't literal corn in the game, Nintendo will publish it and take their share of the sale. If they do any development work, however, it is going to get some DEI injected into the product.

@@sumomaster5585, having a lot of effort put into exclusive games helps bring out the best within said games. It's why a lot of people look fondly back at generations where SEGA IPs only were on their consoles, the earlier PlayStation series having games only released for it, and the like. Some games can work as multi-platform games, but some can be exclusive to give potential customers a choice between specific games and which they'd like more.
@@sumomaster5585 Nintendo is not trying to compete with Sony or Microsoft on pushing hardware advancements. If they released their games on multiple platforms, it may not be in their best interest. They would likely have to push their hardware as well to compete, resulting in longer development times and less games.
Nintendo suffers from many of the same issues as other companies (e.g., activist employees), but they seem to hold them back pretty well, at least in comparison to other companies. Nintendo and Pokémon did make tweets about [that police incident in 2020], but they did it later than other companies did. I don't think they've acknowledged many other activist movements either, like Pride Month or the abortion bill changes. The Treehouse can get pretty bad (they got backlash for how they handled Fire Emblem Fates and Xenoblade Chronicles X), but Nintendo at least doesn't censor games that they don't develop, unlike Sony. Outside of that, Nintendo seems to have a better handle on the financials than other companies too (you don't see them having mass layoffs). Nintendo's games also work at launch more often than not (this is mostly a Pokémon problem, mind you), so there's that too. Hopefully they're smart enough to hold back their rowdy employees and weather the cultural shifts.
They also didn't use a black background for that tweet, it was likely something their legal team made them do because they would get into a lot of trouble had they not, and I'm not talking trouble from comments. Big businesses are strong-armed into a lot of this stuff against their will, had Nintendo abstained from that tweet, they may have suddenly had issues with their bank for instance, or contacted by the UN. Also the Pokemon Company is pretty bad, and likely would have gone full-on with that tweet now, but they are a separate entity that just hides behind Nintendo whenever it makes a mistake, as it regularly does.
A decade or so ago, you would point at private companies and say "why can't government offices get rid of extra bloat like that, it is a waste of tax money" and now we have private companies becoming more bloated than government offices. Such a mad world.
Nintendo has also 100+ years in general business. Has hella merchandising and media licenses. Ubisoft has Assassins Creed and many, many, many failed attempts at general media and merchandising. They are not the same.
I only care about Nintendo in terms of gaming kingdom. They’ve been giving me satisfactiry products through almost my whole life. I really really really hope they’ll stand up against the blackrock cancer.
Nintendo and Steam are honestly the only things in gaming I enjoy at this point. Also, anyone notice the "Mario Meets Rabbids" game, and "StarLink Meets StarFox" NintyXUbisoft crossover games on Switch work better then Ubisoft's newer games? It's almost like when a company works with Nintendo, that they have to make a more complete game. And yeah, I know Nintendo a few years ago was also guilty of making incomplete games with "Switch Sports," and the new "Mario Strikers," but unlike Ubisoft and other triple-A companies, Nintendo learned a lesson from the backlash over those, and apparently listen to fans. A rarity in the gaming industry. I'm not saying Nintendo is perfect, and they do crumby things sometimes too, but at this point I respect them way more then Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Capcom USA, Konami, ect.
I also would guess the incomplete games are a symptom of the developers themselves. The Mario sports games are always incomplete and bad, and always developed by the same team. There was also that team that made the bad Yoshi games, and HEY Pikmin, and Chibi Robo Zip Lash who were clearly always incompetent. Most noticeably so because they then left Nintendo to work on Balan WonderWorld. As for the Switch Sports game? I don't know how that happened other than the fact that it was potentially impacted by 2020 and they needed to throw out something that year so something had to be pushed out early and incomplete. But that's just a guess.
i think you mean ubisoft is thq and sony is sega becuse they want third party after the dreamcast which looks sony is doing the same mistakes sega did back in day
It's quite simple. Nintendo is one of the few publishers that operate the same way the industry did over 20-30 years ago. Most of their games are made by smaller teams, budgets are reasonable, they work within the limitations of the hardware and games are compressed down to an affordable size (i.e Smash Bros Ultimate was shrunk down from 60GB to 16GB). The industry could learn so much on how to run a studio if they just looked to the past. Hell I don't know how Sony keeps fucking up when they can learn so much from the PS2 era.
I decided to look it up, grummz is correct, but that's not Nintendo of America, it's Nintendo in total, including all "Nintendo of [region]" subsidiaries. Nintendo of Japan has about 2k employees. Interesting aside, Nintendo apparently has a less than 2% turnover rate. I guess that's what you get when you focus on a specific mission (make fun games) and are loyal to employees.
What do you want to bet a lot of the 20k employees at Ubislop are in HR or some stupid title like privacy coach to inject "global" standards in every pore of the games? Easiest bet to make, I know.

Nintendo would be a great company, if it wouldn't take us so far back to another extreme where your youtube channel would be in danger of getting copyright struck into oblivion for showing cutscenes of their games.
Speaking of coding, at least within Europe, it's general practice to code and document things in English. This happens even if your entire team speaks the local language natively, because teams change. I've seen code bases of native companies that did code in their native language and that can only reasonably do business in their native country, and new coders still IMMEDIATELY ask why the code is not in English. The answer to that question is NEVER "because we're in Germany/France/whatever". The answer is usually "That's because we have very specific native terms in our business which have no official English translation. If every programmer comes up with their own translation, we end up with multiple different English terms for the same native term and that's going to be confusing. I know, I don't like it either." That's not to say having international teams and expressing everything in English doesn't make communication harder. It does. I work in such a coding team. All our code is in English, but 80%+ of our worktime is not coding but discussing what and how to code it. Whenever the subject matters get complicated to explain, our team lead will switch to our native language and say "sorry [international colleagues], we'll translate later". We all speak English fluently, but that's often not good enough.
Nintendo America subcontracts a lot of work for its games. This allows easy hire-fire. It also makes their headcount low, which looks good to investors (... for some reason)
I haven't been able to find any law that requires companies to have HR departments. Which law exactly is that? I don't think the language barrier is that much of an issue. I'd imagine most of people code in English anyway.
you mean paper mario ttyd i own the original on game cube what did they change in the remaster or remake i know the music is differnt and it look more shiny then original ohter then that what did they change i have been fallowing the whole thing
Ehh, if you'd have known the "lore" about Paper Mario TTYD and its original Japanese version over the years concerning the character of Vivian (I'm assuming that's what you're referring to since I can't think of anything else), then that wasn't really something that out of left field. The "shenanigans" are at least more accurate to what the original Japanese said than what the original English localization on the Gamecube had. Those shenanigans may have been a shock to many casuals but plenty of more die-hard fans have been aware of it for years now. Not to mention it's not even new for Mario since Birdo also has existed since the 80s.
@@TheBoltMaster456 Uh, because no, it's not? That's the first I've ever heard that, and that just can't be true because the whole thing comes directly from the original manual for Doki Doki Panic, except there the character went by "Catherine" instead, but was still described to be "a guy who thinks he is a girl" similar to the U.S. Mario 2 manual. The only error I can think of is Birdo being named "Ostro" instead.
It's doesn't have as much to do with the DEI bloat as much as it is about the differences in the work culture. The bloat definitely takes it's toll, but it's the work culture that is the biggest difference. I guarantee you that a single Japanese worker in a Japanese company is a productive as a couple of western workers in a western company. It's a combination of different factors: Japanese people in general work harder and are more devoted to their job because that's just how it is over there from the cultural perspective, it's expected of them. They don't have weird things like "mental health days", they don't go play table tennis every two hours, they don't spend an hour eating their lunch, they just come to work, to their job as best as they can, and leave with very minimal downtime (basically like most low paying jobs work in the west). I've worked for a while in the western IT company and the amount of time people spend not really doing anything is astonishing.
Nintendo still makes good games that caters to its audience. Yes they're guilty of their shady moves but you can't fault them in making games for the hardcore fans. Something Ubisoft, Black Rock, Sweet Baby Inc and any other woke companies will never understand.
Also when you have many migrants as workers then need many supervisors too to walk them through what they should done and how ! That's in every industry 😉😉
They also keep their jobs too, lol. While I’m sure part of it could be English sites not keeping tabs or knowing too deeply, you don’t really hear about layoffs at Nintendo. Quitting is probably harder to track, but even bigwigs don’t really quit before they can retire. It’s happened once or twice, but extremely rare. Heck, you’ll be lucky to stay (willingly) at any job for over 5 years in the West unless you make it to management. Everyone else will get laid off in that time or have to quit just to get a promotion because companies don’t care about investing/keeping employees.
As many have said multiple times, this is all just the logical end result of civil rights law forcing companies to hire certain people and give certain people preferential treatment. Else, you get hit with massive lawsuits.
Woah woah woah... While I agree with most, the last point felt a little bit just to fill your standard video length. Because they only barrier of entry left in these companies is that you are able to speak the company language fluently. Nobody codes in English or french... Code is standardized. Yes, people might occasionally speak in their local language in a studio, but when they are talking about work with international teams, they speak the company language.🤡
8:04 As someone who studied computer science this has confused me for a solid minute. I've NEVER seen a popular language that wasn't using just english.
Ubisoft’s average games are also more visually realistic and are open-world games, whereas Nintendo’s generally the opposite. So Ubisoft is going to need more people to make any given game as well. Which is another issue, going for the most costly type of games. I think a more fair comparison would be Ubisoft to FromSoft (before Elden Ring), as they target a similar style of game (not open-world but big) consistently and is seen as profitable. Just to see if Ubisoft’s numbers are poor or standard. Although Ubisoft is also a publisher whereas FromSoft just makes their own games, so it’s not perfect.
I cannot comprehend how a game developer needs 20,000 employees. As I've said before, the more trash degrees women get the more stupid positions in corporations need to be made to justify their existence. It started with HR departments and those have leveled up to DEI departments. Now that degree in African Feminist Basket Weaving will have some use, since you need one of those in your DEI department in order to make your game for the "modern audience".
I'm perfectly fine with ubisoft falling. They need to triple down on woke DEI and go under. I think they are beyond salvage. Activision and EA still have their greed to push them forward, Blizzard is already dead.
For now. Crossing fingers that Nintendo wont also get consumed. Its bad reputation going around about DEI inflitrating japans big companys and spreading.
Ironically, androgynous people and characters (especially fictional characters) can be very attractive, but the androgyny in woke games is always meant to make the characters look ugly!
I have some insight into what goes on at ubisoft... i dont think dei is such a bad problem... the company has been very poorly run for a long time... not very attractive for top talent... lots of local corruption wasting company money on bs... too many people on the business side looking at spreadsheets with very little competence... its a big company and the rot is deep and goes back basically to 2008

The change to Peach is the most obvious, but people gaslight themselves into thinking it’s needed or okay, because apparently if you aren’t punching something you’re worthless. I can see not wanting to have Peach locked away for most of the movie, and that could be done. But I also think developing her more in the 2nd movie would be better, and have the 1st movie focus much more on the brothers themselves.
We are the few sane men left in these insane times.
Also there’s a local Kyoto bank that is apparently blocking Black Rock from purchasing a significant portion of Nintendo’s shares
That bank needs raises across the board. Good for them.
I might be white pilling a bit too much here, but I like to think part of that decision came from Concord failing. The investors saw that and didn’t want Nintendo to repeat what Sony did.

Yeah, but it also lost 72% of its value. It devolved into a site replete with right wing hate speech, left wing toxicity and questionable mature content. For advertisers looking for some place safe to pedal their spaghetti sauces and luxury sedans it's not a viable platform. It also declined about 30 million users since 2022. Meanwhile Instragram gained about 400 million users in the same time period. I don't believe the decline and gains are directly related, but they are interesting numbers. I don't have an Instragram account so I can't say what makes it attractive to users or advertisers. There must be something though because Instagram revenue increased 38.7% between 2022 and 2024.

Keep in mind that Nintendo's CEO only takes a salary of $2.5 million, far less than that of any western companies. The (relatively) modest salary is a much healthier way to run a corporation like this, since your employees are being much better compensated.
The CEOs pay rate makes no difference to other employee salaries. It’s an extra 10k for upper management. Worry about the first 100k, not the last 5.
@@Xplora213 except having the ceiling that low for the highest earner, means that all the other managers make less too. there are only five people in the company of seven thousand that make over a million.

At all, or they’ll start and give up partway through.

Nintendo's worst failure, the Virtual Boy, and in particular its two Mario games are many times more successful than Concord is and recent Ubisoft games have been. The best part is, you can still play Virtual Boy games while Concord has been erased from history.
Several consoles that didn't have great success like the Mega Drive in Japan or the TurboGrafx-16 in the US were much more successful than those. Just like the Virtual Boy library, all of the games in both consoles' histories are still fully playable to this day.
And some Virtual Boy games are hidden gems. Virtual Boy Wario Land is probably the most notable one, that game is sick.

So I'd suspect that Nintendo is forced to comply a little bit here and there in order to not get attacked. Like how in the Mario movie they had to let Illumination change Peach's character, but forced them to still make Mario the hero.

It's why a lot of people look fondly back at generations where SEGA IPs only were on their consoles, the earlier PlayStation series having games only released for it, and the like. Some games can work as multi-platform games, but some can be exclusive to give potential customers a choice between specific games and which they'd like more.
@@sumomaster5585 Nintendo is not trying to compete with Sony or Microsoft on pushing hardware advancements. If they released their games on multiple platforms, it may not be in their best interest.

@@sumomaster5585 No. We don't.
Nintendo suffers from many of the same issues as other companies (e.g., activist employees), but they seem to hold them back pretty well, at least in comparison to other companies. Nintendo and Pokémon did make tweets about [that police incident in 2020], but they did it later than other companies did. I don't think they've acknowledged many other activist movements either, like Pride Month or the abortion bill changes. The Treehouse can get pretty bad (they got backlash for how they handled Fire Emblem Fates and Xenoblade Chronicles X), but Nintendo at least doesn't censor games that they don't develop, unlike Sony.
Outside of that, Nintendo seems to have a better handle on the financials than other companies too (you don't see them having mass layoffs). Nintendo's games also work at launch more often than not (this is mostly a Pokémon problem, mind you), so there's that too. Hopefully they're smart enough to hold back their rowdy employees and weather the cultural shifts.
They also didn't use a black background for that tweet, it was likely something their legal team made them do because they would get into a lot of trouble had they not, and I'm not talking trouble from comments. Big businesses are strong-armed into a lot of this stuff against their will, had Nintendo abstained from that tweet, they may have suddenly had issues with their bank for instance, or contacted by the UN. Also the Pokemon Company is pretty bad, and likely would have gone full-on with that tweet now, but they are a separate entity that just hides behind Nintendo whenever it makes a mistake, as it regularly does.

Nintendo keeps the talent and keeps them nourished . Larian Studious and Fromsoftware do the same. Not sure what Ubisoft does.

Nintendo has also 100+ years in general business. Has hella merchandising and media licenses. Ubisoft has Assassins Creed and many, many, many failed attempts at general media and merchandising. They are not the same.
I only care about Nintendo in terms of gaming kingdom. They’ve been giving me satisfactiry products through almost my whole life. I really really really hope they’ll stand up against the blackrock cancer.
Nintendo and Steam are honestly the only things in gaming I enjoy at this point.
Also, anyone notice the "Mario Meets Rabbids" game, and "StarLink Meets StarFox" NintyXUbisoft crossover games on Switch work better then Ubisoft's newer games? It's almost like when a company works with Nintendo, that they have to make a more complete game.
And yeah, I know Nintendo a few years ago was also guilty of making incomplete games with "Switch Sports," and the new "Mario Strikers," but unlike Ubisoft and other triple-A companies, Nintendo learned a lesson from the backlash over those, and apparently listen to fans. A rarity in the gaming industry.
I'm not saying Nintendo is perfect, and they do crumby things sometimes too, but at this point I respect them way more then Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Capcom USA, Konami, ect.
I also would guess the incomplete games are a symptom of the developers themselves. The Mario sports games are always incomplete and bad, and always developed by the same team. There was also that team that made the bad Yoshi games, and HEY Pikmin, and Chibi Robo Zip Lash who were clearly always incompetent. Most noticeably so because they then left Nintendo to work on Balan WonderWorld. As for the Switch Sports game? I don't know how that happened other than the fact that it was potentially impacted by 2020 and they needed to throw out something that year so something had to be pushed out early and incomplete. But that's just a guess.
Ubisoft and Sony are going the way of SEGA with it's numerous flops in the late 90s but WORSE and it's hilarious.

Vee, it's universally agreed (at lest in the West) that everyone codes in English.

It's quite simple. Nintendo is one of the few publishers that operate the same way the industry did over 20-30 years ago. Most of their games are made by smaller teams, budgets are reasonable, they work within the limitations of the hardware and games are compressed down to an affordable size (i.e Smash Bros Ultimate was shrunk down from 60GB to 16GB).
The industry could learn so much on how to run a studio if they just looked to the past. Hell I don't know how Sony keeps fucking up when they can learn so much from the PS2 era.
I decided to look it up, grummz is correct, but that's not Nintendo of America, it's Nintendo in total, including all "Nintendo of [region]" subsidiaries. Nintendo of Japan has about 2k employees.
Interesting aside, Nintendo apparently has a less than 2% turnover rate. I guess that's what you get when you focus on a specific mission (make fun games) and are loyal to employees.

Nintendo would be a great company, if it wouldn't take us so far back to another extreme where your youtube channel would be in danger of getting copyright struck into oblivion for showing cutscenes of their games.
this is what happens when you put NEIGHBORS in your games
Speaking of coding, at least within Europe, it's general practice to code and document things in English. This happens even if your entire team speaks the local language natively, because teams change. I've seen code bases of native companies that did code in their native language and that can only reasonably do business in their native country, and new coders still IMMEDIATELY ask why the code is not in English. The answer to that question is NEVER "because we're in Germany/France/whatever". The answer is usually "That's because we have very specific native terms in our business which have no official English translation. If every programmer comes up with their own translation, we end up with multiple different English terms for the same native term and that's going to be confusing. I know, I don't like it either."
That's not to say having international teams and expressing everything in English doesn't make communication harder. It does. I work in such a coding team. All our code is in English, but 80%+ of our worktime is not coding but discussing what and how to code it. Whenever the subject matters get complicated to explain, our team lead will switch to our native language and say "sorry [international colleagues], we'll translate later". We all speak English fluently, but that's often not good enough.
The whole gaming industry will be coming out of BRICS in the next few years.

Nintendo America subcontracts a lot of work for its games. This allows easy hire-fire. It also makes their headcount low, which looks good to investors (... for some reason)

Ehh, if you'd have known the "lore" about Paper Mario TTYD and its original Japanese version over the years concerning the character of Vivian (I'm assuming that's what you're referring to since I can't think of anything else), then that wasn't really something that out of left field. The "shenanigans" are at least more accurate to what the original Japanese said than what the original English localization on the Gamecube had.

Honestly that sounds more like bloat than DEI, UBI is in efficient and needs to cull the fat. I am sure being Bloated causes DEI
It's doesn't have as much to do with the DEI bloat as much as it is about the differences in the work culture. The bloat definitely takes it's toll, but it's the work culture that is the biggest difference.
I guarantee you that a single Japanese worker in a Japanese company is a productive as a couple of western workers in a western company. It's a combination of different factors: Japanese people in general work harder and are more devoted to their job because that's just how it is over there from the cultural perspective, it's expected of them. They don't have weird things like "mental health days", they don't go play table tennis every two hours, they don't spend an hour eating their lunch, they just come to work, to their job as best as they can, and leave with very minimal downtime (basically like most low paying jobs work in the west). I've worked for a while in the western IT company and the amount of time people spend not really doing anything is astonishing.
Nintendo still makes good games that caters to its audience. Yes they're guilty of their shady moves but you can't fault them in making games for the hardcore fans. Something Ubisoft, Black Rock, Sweet Baby Inc and any other woke companies will never understand.
Also when you have many migrants as workers then need many supervisors too to walk them through what they should done and how !
That's in every industry 😉😉
I'm willing to bet those 7000 Japanese employees make a better wage than the 20000 Ubisoft employees who get paid in ceo table scraps.
Nah, why do you think Ubisoft adds all those mtx junk in even single player games and make games as generic as possible?

They also keep their jobs too, lol. While I’m sure part of it could be English sites not keeping tabs or knowing too deeply, you don’t really hear about layoffs at Nintendo. Quitting is probably harder to track, but even bigwigs don’t really quit before they can retire. It’s happened once or twice, but extremely rare. Heck, you’ll be lucky to stay (willingly) at any job for over 5 years in the West unless you make it to management. Everyone else will get laid off in that time or have to quit just to get a promotion because companies don’t care about investing/keeping employees.
Remove HR and all these problems go away tomorrow.
As many have said multiple times, this is all just the logical end result of civil rights law forcing companies to hire certain people and give certain people preferential treatment. Else, you get hit with massive lawsuits.
Woah woah woah... While I agree with most, the last point felt a little bit just to fill your standard video length. Because they only barrier of entry left in these companies is that you are able to speak the company language fluently.
Nobody codes in English or french... Code is standardized. Yes, people might occasionally speak in their local language in a studio, but when they are talking about work with international teams, they speak the company language.🤡
8:04 As someone who studied computer science this has confused me for a solid minute. I've NEVER seen a popular language that wasn't using just english.
Ubisoft’s average games are also more visually realistic and are open-world games, whereas Nintendo’s generally the opposite. So Ubisoft is going to need more people to make any given game as well. Which is another issue, going for the most costly type of games.
I think a more fair comparison would be Ubisoft to FromSoft (before Elden Ring), as they target a similar style of game (not open-world but big) consistently and is seen as profitable. Just to see if Ubisoft’s numbers are poor or standard. Although Ubisoft is also a publisher whereas FromSoft just makes their own games, so it’s not perfect.
Because they don't care about DEI, they can focus on finding the best people they can for the job.
If nintendo keeps up its indie support they are good in my books
lol, I didn't even realize, but wait, is this the guy who was involved in those bloodsports?
Can ya do a video on Nintendo filing a Lawsuit towards Palworld's creator please?
Closer to 8k for Nintendo - but close enough
I cannot comprehend how a game developer needs 20,000 employees.
As I've said before, the more trash degrees women get the more stupid positions in corporations need to be made to justify their existence. It started with HR departments and those have leveled up to DEI departments. Now that degree in African Feminist Basket Weaving will have some use, since you need one of those in your DEI department in order to make your game for the "modern audience".
Ubisoft run on taxpayer money. And more hiring = more taxpayer money.
In America even our corporations are too fat
I'm perfectly fine with ubisoft falling.
They need to triple down on woke DEI and go under.
I think they are beyond salvage.
Activision and EA still have their greed to push them forward, Blizzard is already dead.
Legislation and nepotism. Whether through race or gender.
Where can i buy this "Nitendo"?😅
Not only do they have to be bilingual but they have to be good coders too
To be fair, Nintendo doesn't make the games. They're the publisher.
Even with strict copyright stance Nintendo still a better company than Ubisoft currently is now.
For now. Crossing fingers that Nintendo wont also get consumed. Its bad reputation going around about DEI inflitrating japans big companys and spreading.
Nintendo is outright the biggest company in Japan. Ubi isnt in the top 100 in france (where their hq is)
I think by Scam Francisco you mean What’s Left of Scam Francisco.
There is no such thing as "coding in English and coding in French". All coding is done universally in the same language.
dunno if anyone mentioned this yet but you misspelled Nintendo in the video's title; someones gotta say it
I’ll be honest after finding out how little his company did for their game I stopped listening to grummz
Ironically, androgynous people and characters (especially fictional characters) can be very attractive, but the androgyny in woke games is always meant to make the characters look ugly!
I have some insight into what goes on at ubisoft... i dont think dei is such a bad problem... the company has been very poorly run for a long time... not very attractive for top talent... lots of local corruption wasting company money on bs... too many people on the business side looking at spreadsheets with very little competence... its a big company and the rot is deep and goes back basically to 2008
