Do they need more space for their draconian IP lawyers or something?

Shit! A solo dev is making a new entry in the Metroid serie! That’s gonna hurt us sooooo bad we can not let this infamy goes!

A delayed ~~game~~ office is eventually good, but a rushed ~~game~~ office is forever bad.

Happens to everyone, big guy. Chin up.

Is that huge building finished? I need to be able to move in our developers by January of 1996.

Sir, it's 2023.

Right now?

Yes sir.

So yesterday I was...

Also in 2023 sir.

Well no. That's not how I roll. But do me a favor and look up whether we released something called a "Virtual Boy" in 1995. And someone get me a new Palm Pilot, I need to keep better track of what... day... it is.

I wonder if anyone has told them about digital downloads and moving sourcecode using network cables. If not, I bet they're going to feel really silly moving crates of code up and down freight elevators in their huge meat-space office. /s

It is kind of hard to check hardware prototypes into version control.

I assume that first party game developers are sometimes working with unannounced hardware that Nintendo might not want leaving the office. It also makes it easier to call a hardware engineer over when you break the system.

That makes sense.
