To take it a step further, Nintendo is factually the only of the three companies that refuses to divulge the information for where each part comes from specifically to fight the issue of child workers. Microsoft and Sony both do this explicitly to make sure they're not in the moral grey. Point is, as a Nintendo fan, you should know they're not goody-two-shoes to EA's Hitler. One could argue that having plausible deniability to its business partners directly working on Nintendo products using overworked and underpaid children is actually WORSE than EA making business decisions that we as core gamers dislike but make perfect sense. Just food for thought. |
I think almost every big gaming hardware company was blamed for this? It's obviously an awful issue and something that needs erradication. The fact is that companies don't usually put a lot of effort in this (or, at least, it seems that they don't do whatever they can), but this pretty much is an every companies' problem. The fact that Nintendo is more secretive about it, or doesn't divulge information about it (they are very secretive about almost everything) doesn't mean they are the worst offenders. But, yeah, I agree what you say about Nintendo not being saints, but we're talking about business and gaming related practises here.
