Former Nintendo employee calls Nintendo "douches" over Axiom Verge situation (EDIT: he apologized)

[Veknoid_Outcast]

Adelman apologized, which was the right thing to do: "I agree that comment was out of line and unprofessional. I've since deleted it but not before the damage was done. My apologies to Nintendo."

I don't know what the deal is with Axiom Verge, but using this specific case to indict Nintendo doesn't make a lot of sense, since many outlets have reported that Nintendo has taken a more active role lately in recruiting indie games for the Switch. The snub of Axiom Verge might have something to do with this:

"According to Kirk Scott, Nintendo’s head of indie relations, the company let three defining traits guide its selection of indie titles for Switch: “great IP, plays together, plays great anywhere.” But there are also things they aren’t looking for, namely, games that have been out a long time on other platforms that’d be finally making their Nintendo debut. Instead, Nintendo is looking for titles that may be making a console debut on Nintendo Switch, or bring a new feature to the platform, though that won’t exclude titles that already exist on PC."
