Oh, I do. But the incident I'm noting was specifically involving Nintendo products, and Nintendo gave a vague response of "we're looking into it" per their CSR. If Nintendo doesn't hold Foxconn accountable they become accountable themselves and we've never heard anything from Nintendo since on that front.

 

Nice job ignoring the second part of my comment though, the part where I'm directly talking about the fact (not accusation) that Nintendo themselves hide their supply chains while the other two publicly release detailed reports on this issue. Gamers like to proclaim that EA is the devil but Nintendo is no better in terms of business practice. They're just better at actually making games. 

First off, we haven't heard of another child labor incident involving Nintendo since then, so I guess it has been dealt with by Nintendo?

And I was commenting your first part. The way you put it it sounds like Nintendo themselves forced children to manufacture the consoles, and I was pointing out that it was Foxxconn, and that Foxxconn offers their services to many large and popular companies.

Now to comment on Nintendo not being angels, and EA being the devil. I agree that Nintendo isn't innocent and EA isn't the devil in disguise, so I originally didn't want to comment on that.

But since I'm on a roll now, I'll comment on it now.
I'd argue that seeing EA and Nintendo so extremely is only the case with a few, but not the majority.

People (I don't know how many) don't truly see things so extremely, but they'll argue in extremes, because they want to pull you over to their side.
Like in tug o war they'll pull as strong as they can and try to pull you to their side, then the other side will start pulling back stronger, because they want you too. Sadly the truth often is muddled, because both sides are most likely exaggerating, leaving out essential information and being partially untruthful. The longer this continues, more and more people will just be overwhelmed by the extremes and will actually start believing in those extremes, beacuse it's easier then figuring out the truth.

To get back to the topic:
If it is is true that EA and Nintendo are having a meeting, then it is atleast positive that they are talking with each other. Nintendo would benefit from EA producing games for the NX and actually listening to third parties, as they could bring in a broader audience. Some sports game fans might actually like Mario Kart, Smash and Splatoon, and kids on Nintendo consoles will have an easier time growing in to EA sports titles, if they like it.

No, I never intended for it to sound as ifNintendo themselves is terrible, my bad. To address the first part of what you said though, Nintendo has a firewall on the subject of supply chains so we don't know if good OR bad has occurred since then until it publicly releases. That's the problem with a firewall like this. 

 

The only other thing I've got replies for is the middle part: EA was voted worst company in America two years in a row. That's a vocal minority but it can't be THAT small a minority if it won a vote like that.
