Hope he gets out alive. Knowing Nintendo they would definitely hire a hitman.

Hey, Nintendo may be Nintendo, but they’re not WoTC. Even if they did send a hitman, it would only be the cloud version.

Oh, are the Gunpei Yokoi conspiracies circulating again?

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 11 points 3 months ago

No just that Nintendo is pretty dam toxic to most people.

Virtual Boy fails? Yokoi dies.

WiiU fails? Iwata dies.

Don't fail Nintendo...

What a dingus. This person yapped to a journo and really thought it wasn't going to be in an article? Thats what they get for yapping I guess.

In the article it states that a DM revealed he had in fact told the leaker he was writing an article

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Whether a journo tells you they're doing an article or not, they're always going to put what you say in an article. It's why you don't talk to journos like you don't talk to police without a lawyer. Even if you want to be helpful, you still need a lawyer to protect you.

When journalists had integrity, they protected the identity of their sources. Not just for the sake of their own reputation and that of the source, but also because once you fuck up that trust, no-one will talk to you anymore (or only do it anonymously, and there's a lot of opportunity to get fucked with when you don't know who your source is, which means you need to spend a lot more time vetting).

I'm not disagreeing at all, just saying that he is even more stupid, and tried to cover it up
