Microsoft gave them all 10 years no "crunch" no pressure infinite money and all they did was touch themselves collecting paychecks and pushing out directionless turds. The difference between Nintendo and Microsoft is Nintendo cracks the whip. When Nintendo doesn't the same shit happens. Retro Studios was given 10 years of freedom after Tropical Freeze to make what they want and they made no games and a shitty Winx Club Zelda knock off that got canceled because it was trash.

No, you just bully them until they leave on their own or kill themselves, then bow to the cameras and act like you knew absolutely nothing about it. Or, in the case of the dude who invented Virtual Boy, get him killed in a "car accident."

His bile duct cancer was gone, then there was some shareholder mobile games shit and BAM suddenly it magically came back the same fucking month. Cancer my ass, he was killed.

Yeah the difference is Nintendo actually makes their employees work as opposed to Microsoft who spend billions on studios who do absolutely fucking nothing

Does Harmony and Prime 4 count? Harmony got canned cause Retro can't make games without being tardwrangled and Prime 4 was stuck in hell because Bandai Namco are retards.

This is true. Perfect Dark and Everwild were cancelled because they were both in development for over five years with nothing to show. HOW DO YOU DEVELOP A GAME FOR HALF A DECADE AND STILL NOT HAVE IT BE PLAYABLE?! And the developer for Perfect Dark, the Initiative hasn't shipped a single game. Burn them all. They deserve to be cancelled. Fuck games that take over half a decade to release.
