I've worked in many large companies and we allow people in meeting to give them training and experience. Sometimes talented developers are morons in their English literary style. Sometimes people are hired as talented developers, that are not in fact, talented developers. The person's analysis was obviously impacted by his view of the 'truth' which I agree, probably relates more to what other people have been saying in forum posts...but it could very well be true that he is being mostly honest, and related what he saw in a meeting, as some kind of substantiation to what he knows is the general perception. So, in other words, lie or not a lie, is a big guess. I tend to take people at their word....for one, why not? Its a nicer way to live, and is equally harmless. Either way, the shovelware on the Wii platform, is what it is. I love the Wii though, and even if I have to rely on Nintendo to put out the quality titles, Wii Fit and Wii Sports have made that console for me....I enjoy it immensely. |
If I tell you I'm a game developer, or own a game store, or that I'm Steven Speilberg, it's basically a harmless lie. But when I take that lie and try to peddle bogus information with it - that's less harmless. It misleads people into expecting certain things or comming to an incorrect analysis from the market.
With something like this, there is NO reason to believe it. It lacks any credibility, and basically reinforces opinions that fanboys already have. Unless there is some way to independently verify this information, it must be treated with healthy skepticism. But I can almost guarantee that if we treated it as a true story, Wiibashers would be rolling it out as Exhibit A for why the Wii is killing games.
Honestly this has all the hallmarks of a lie. Reinforce what people suspect, give a few details, but none of them relevant, and pretend that you're a supporter of the side you are undermining.
