Despite that, there could be a handful of people with influential roles in the company who consider this to be a part of doing business. To your point, those same people would likely still know about this situation (rather, the general situation around copyright / marketing) and understand why they make the decisions they make while still being genuinely concerned with the trade-offs. To your parent commenter's point, that doesn't mean this is any sort of crisis (or "nightmare") to the most influential decision-makers at Nintendo; it's just part of their job.
- jchw 4y agoI think maybe the phrasing "PR nightmare" is doing too much work here. All I meant to imply is that this is bad PR for Nintendo, not that it is causing them to go to the war room. Maybe PR nightmare is simply too strong of a term. I disagree that it is a complete non-issue, though.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoI didn't mean to paint it as a non-issue (I guess OP may have), just not a "crisis" issue. I agree that "PR nightmare" is a term which removes much nuance; it's neither a non-issue nor a "war room"-necessary issue.
