Eiji Aonuma, a lead developer on the Zelda series since 1998, believes Nintendo not doing mass layoffs is a key part of their success. He says keeping very long-term employees who can teach junior devs has "a real benefit" and helps Nintendo make truly great games.

Almost overnight, piracy has gone from 'we're making this unsupported triple A title available at low prices to counteract corporate greed' to 'I just wanna steal shit'. It's not about simping for a company, it's seeing how untenable this will be for an already fragile industry.
GREEN HAT KID NOW RUNNING NATIVELY ON PC WITH HIGH FPS AND ULTRAWIDE SUPPORT 🚨 A new showcase just dropped for the native port, and it’s coming along fast. Ultrawide and higher framerates now work, VRAM and memory usage are way down, and shaders and effects render almost perfectly. The dev says it’s officially dropping on their GitHub today.

Do we even acknowledge how devastating is gonna be the day he actually passes away? Like, do you have ANY ideas of how MUCH the gaming industry owes to this man?

The gaming media being so horny for this movement to fail is exactly why PlayStation and their fanbase is in the situation it's in now. This isn't a good thing

One evening in Fall 1998, My Dad came home from work saying he had a surprise for my sister and I. Little did we know the journey we were about to embark on. And even though he’s gone, Being able to experience this game in a new way feels like he’s still here Thank you Dad ❤️🕊️

There’s another option people dismiss in these conversations: you can just not play the game. It is not a right for you to have access too it. This is optional entertainment. I’m a PC gamer too. I don’t pirate. Can’t play a game I don’t own because I don’t have the platform? I shrug my shoulders and move on to the hundreds of other games I have. But no, a great exclusive launches and the excuses come out to pirate it. Literally you don’t have to play it. Your life will be the same.
Voy a decir algo que a muchos no les va a gustar: prefiero piratear Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake antes que comprar una Nintendo Switch 2 exclusivamente para jugarlo. Y os explico por qué. Soy jugador de PC. Tengo mi plataforma, mi biblioteca, mis periféricos y mi ecosistema de juego. ¿Por qué tengo que gastarme entre 400 y 500 € en otra máquina para jugar a DOS o TRES exclusivos y dejarla después cogiendo polvo? ¿De verdad os parece razonable? Yo no tengo ningún problema en pagar 80 € por un videojuego. De hecho, pagaría encantado esos 80 € por Ocarina of Time si Nintendo lo publicase en PC. Lo que no pienso hacer es pagar 400-500 € por una consola que no necesito, MÁS otros 80 € por el juego. Estamos hablando de una barrera de entrada de casi 600 € para acceder a un único título. Y aquí está lo que las compañías parecen no entender: No todo el mundo quiere comprar su ecosistema. Algunos simplemente queremos jugar a sus videojuegos. Las exclusividades no hacen que automáticamente todos los jugadores de PC corran a comprar una consola. Muchos simplemente renuncian al juego. Otros buscan alternativas. Y lo de Ocarina of Time es precisamente el ejemplo de hacia dónde está evolucionando todo esto. En cuestión de horas hemos visto cómo la comunidad conseguía ejecutar el juego en PC mediante emulación. Y con proyectos como Lichii, las recompilaciones nativas y la ayuda de la IA, las barreras técnicas cada vez son menores. ¿De verdad creen que pueden mantener eternamente sus juegos encerrados en una plataforma mientras la tecnología avanza a semejante velocidad? Yo prefiero pagar por un producto oficial, tenerlo en Steam, jugarlo en mi PC, utilizar mi hardware y no depender de comprar otra máquina para acceder a él. Pero si me obligas a elegir entre gastar casi 600 € en un ecosistema que no quiero o buscar una alternativa para jugar a un título que me interesa, tengo bastante clara mi decisión. Las compañías tienen que empezar a entender que queremos comprar sus juegos, no necesariamente sus consolas. Y ahora quiero plantear una pregunta: ¿Defendéis las exclusividades porque realmente benefician al jugador o porque os habéis acostumbrado a justificar que tengamos que comprar varias máquinas para poder disfrutar de todos los videojuegos? Porque yo tengo clarísimo que el futuro debería ser poder elegir dónde jugar, no dónde te obligan a jugar.

Today is a very special day for Mass Effect fans. We've worked incredibly hard to bring together most of the original Mass Effect trilogy's voice cast to share a very important message with you. We need to #SaveMassEffect.

To every Commander honoring #N7Day today: we're right there with you. A few of us were lucky enough to work on Mass Effect as part of the incredible team at BioWare. Even more of us were simply fans who grew up playing it, just like you, saw what games could be, and got into this industry thinking, "Had to be me." Either way, it shaped us. It lives on in every story it inspired, and most of all in you, the fans who never stop showing up for it. The galaxy is a better place with more great sci-fi stories in it, and Mass Effect will always be one of the best. Thank you for all the amazing memories, BioWare.
