   Imagine getting hyped for AAA slop in the 2024th Year of our Lord, cant be me. The only games I'm getting hyped for these days is stuff put out by random small indie devs that 99.9% of people will never know about

     @D-Droid @PanzerTan Nintendo's various studios seem pretty independent of each other. That can be a bad thing (it's probably a big reason why games like Smash Ultimate and Mario Maker 2 have so much worse online than Mario Kart 8 and F-Zero 99), but that independence will also slow and limit the spread of SJW bullshit (Fire Emblem so far being the most badly affected, and that's still in far better shape than most Sony franchises).
     
     It also helps that a lot of Nintendo's franchises are inherently apolitical - though I do worry that NoA trannylators will try to push Tranny Vivian in the Paper Mario: TTYD remake.

     The real reason why Nintendo is slow on the ESG train is because they aren't a very growth motivated company. Nintendo's shareholders will often try and push the company to hop on trends and Nintendo will just be like "No". This is also the reason why they took forever to make mobile games and why their current efforts in that space are half hearted at best.

     @ignika98 @ChristiJunior @D-Droid @PanzerTan Nintendo is a fiscally conservative company that keeps a substantial war chest, and so are less susceptible to credit-based shenanigans, because their goal is making and stockpiling money, not getting new lines of credit and acquiring more debt for the sake of short-term shareholder prices. Nintendo's business model is relatively insulated from the tools of ESG. Unfortunately it's not totally insulated, and I expect some deterioration, but they won't actually suffer because everything else is getting worse faster. Sports are an example of this, when they accelerated wokeshit a lot after 2020, then ratcheted it back a bit while TV and movies got dramatically worse, making them seem relatively tolerable.

     @ArdainianRight @ignika98 @D-Droid @PanzerTan Nintendo will either follow Japan's general trends or prove somewhat more conservative, while the likes of Sega and Sony are acting like pioneers of poz, and Capcom also tries to stay ahead of the curve (I mean that as an insult).

     I don't believe the Japanese can hold out indefinitely, which is why it's important for the good guys in the West to win.

     At the end of the day, all Asian countries do is make bootlegs. Japan just makes luxury bootlegs. So if the west's cultural output declines, it's inevitable that Asia's will as well.

     Modern Japanese culture and values borrows heavily from the West. Where it's better is usually the result of them running on an older version of liberalism, and not because they have an independently sustainable worldview. The Power Of Friendship can only do so much in the face of looming nihilism.
