I didn't disagree with what badgenome said, I was just adding how devastating it is for Nintendo to give its developers unlimited freedom.

True. And I don't believe it to be the case.

Some devs need more freedom, some need less. It all depends on how comfortable they are with direction. Also, when a studio expresses the need to create something new, rather than something for the man (as was the case for Rare), in that situation, for the sake of the partnership, that need has to be met.

If Sony is not offering that freedom at least at some point so as to offer an outlet for its faithful studios, the same could happen as happened with Rare. They get fed up, demotivated, and end up getting sold off...
