Of course it's not black or white.  As someone who deals with company PR it's definitely on a person by person basis.  You might get lucky and find someone that's super easy to get a hold of and always willing to help and then if they leave for a different company the person that replaces them may never return your calls.  You can't just say, "oh 2 companies had a good experience so that means Nintendo is always available".  Even if you could you're going to have to prove first that the two indie devs that you're probably hearing about for the first time today are more believable than Avalanche.  

I mostly agree with you, but the bolded is among the most lol-worthy quotes in this thread. You see that the second indie dev is WayForward, right? Can't imagine how anyone on this site could have gone through the past year without hearing about them.

 

I mean, if you you've never heard of WayForward, you're doing something wrong.

EDIT: Did I mention A Boy and His Blob? I did not mention A Boy and His Blob. I've made a huge mistake. This is me mentioning A Boy and His Blob.

Knew I'd get someone saying something like this.  Happens whenever you say something about a developer, but since I only vaguely recalled the name WayForward I stand by the idea that Happy had more than likely not heard of the two names before today.  Could be untrue but since Khan doesn't recognize who Avalanche is I don't think it's a stretch to say that WayForward is less of a known than Avalanche and therefore it's plausible if not likely that any random person hadn't heard of WayForward.
