>>41577467I dunno. I'm not sure which is worse: Somebody could reasonably be pocketing a huge amount of profits, robbing Gamefreak the ability to buy good developers, or that Gamefreak has fucking Unlimited Money Works and refuses to buy good developers.
And keep in mind that even if it WAS about the money, Nintendo has proven time and time again that they're willing to bail you out if you need it. Need bodies in seats? Nintendo's got you. Need some money for advertising? Bam. Need a PR guy? He'll even come with a free translator. Short on cash to pay your staff? Man all you had to do is ask. Need help on balancing your game? We've only got some of the best in the industry on first-party tap, and can easily ask for outsiders as well. Code not optimized? No testers? Lack of problems? All of these are nonexistent issues if you actually ask Papa Nintendo to help fix them.
