It's really interesting to watch people revise history and pretend working with Nintendo wasn't a terrible experience until recently.

This is the company that required developers to rent an office space before they could release a game on a Nintendo system. They also would not pay developers at all until their game reached a certain threshold of sales.

Let's just dismiss everything he says, though, and call him "salty".

Well, this wasn't the case anymore with WiiU, which was the system Oddworld released on. I dunno if he is salty, but he uses alternate facts, as Nintendo did advertise his game, the 2GB stuff, the Nintendo first standpoint (which was not a thing on WiiU which left open space for third-parties first) and so on. He is just a forum user who spouts unsubstiated stuff, because he wants to make a point. This shines a bad light on his point, because the wrong stuff takes all the spotlight.

Yes, Nintendo and third-parties have their problems. But Lanning didn't even name one, instead wrong stuff.

I'm all for criticizing Nintendo, because only with critique there can be progress. But this has no substance at all, so it is useless.

According to Wikipedia, he's been working with Nintendo since 1997.  

All I'm saying is, there are people who are attempting to dismiss everything he said because he's wrong about some things.
