He screwed up, he knows Nintendo is anal as hell. They are the worst of the big three at relations and collaboration. They are stuck in the past. He chose to work for them and signed a contract, so he should've known better.

Didn´t SONY fired thousands every year in the last 4 years? Didn´t Microsoft fired 7k weeks ago? It happens.

Didn´t Nintendo stood in 7th place among the "most desirable game companys to work for" survey from IGDA in 2014?
Right in front of Naughty Dog, Doublefine and Bethesda?

There was a list of wrong doings during the podcast. He was introduced as a Nintendo employee from the go, so not only he used his credentials to take part on a podcast, but to any unobservant listener, he was totally talking in name of the company. From there, he gave personal opinions about third party games, confidential financial information, called Sakurai a freak and even took a punch at fans that ask for localization.

He literally did everything common sense would advise against. It is actually hard to point what caused his dismissal.
- Was because he talked about confidential information?
- Because he bad talked about his boss?
- Because he bad talked about the fans?
- Because he presented himself as a Nintendo employee in a public situation without authorization? 

Finally, not only what he did was a obviously stupid decision, but we also don´t know how he was saw (by his manager) before that. Maybe that was just the last drop. I actually find unbelievable that people are giving so much attention to this. The guy is young, healthy, graduated. He will be fine, life goes on.


Comparing apples with oranges.
