And people wonder why I never use Gamestop as a source. Their entire premise (DeNA developing the games) and hence their purpose behind this article (to draw negative connotations to Nintendo via DeNA's game departments) is flawed.
Daredevil.Shark, I know you have a penchant for delivering negative Nintendo news but if the article is outright false, it's probably best to leave it where you found it.

Did you even read the article you linked? There is nothing false in it- Most of it was simply quoting spokesman from DeNA
DeNA is helping develop some of the games and they are helping them get to the mobile market- Besides who is doing excatly what between DeNA and Nintenod is not really the point of the article anyway- Is the repoting of a legit, tiley and pertinent story offnd your senses- there are plenty of Nintendo "echo chambers" on the net if that is what you are looking for- (the Wii U is sellng like gangbusters and the 3DS should surpass the DS in sales any day now- is that better?)

@ Bolded: We've been through this already - DeNA is not 'helping develop some of the games'. Nintendo is developing the game product. DeNA is responsible for the service, as backed up with quotes from Iwata in previous posts.
Now do a Google search with the words Nintendo, DeNA, and Layoff.
Almost every news article concerning the layoffs has DeNA in the title, and identifies them as Nintendo's mobile partner. DeNA is clearly the subject of those articles. Gamespot's article does not even mention DeNA's company name anywhere in the title, making the negative focus of the news appear more Nintendo-centric than DeNA-centric.
This, I believe, is the point of SpokenTruth's post quoted above, and also the point of the backlash against the OP for choosing Gamespot's heading as the title of the thread and using Gamespot's article as their source.
This is not about posting stories that will 'offend the senses', it's how they're reported.
And note, that he said IF the article is outright false - he did not state that it is outright false. Except for the skewed focus of the article's title and the misinformation about DeNA developing the games in the final sentence, the rest of Gamespot's article on the layoffs contains pretty much the same details as most of the other reports.
