In this interview? Was anything right? I mean, he may have been a point, put he do it no right by arguing drunk or so. That's just my point. You bringing stuff up he didn't. So that's fine, but people criticizing him because he brought up other stuff that is just wrong? Yes, that is OK. We could have a discussion about Nintendo and 3rd-parties, but this thread is contaminated, because the thread started on such wrong premises. Make another thread about Nintendo and 3rd-parties, ignore Lanning and make better points. But this position is just undefendable.

EDIT: And pokoko, you are also losing reputation if you try to defend this mess Lanning said. You usually make better points.

I admit I don't know anything about Lanning at all.  My point has to do with the posts that rush to discredit everything with the fallacy of "he was wrong about this so everything else is wrong, as well." 

The issue is that he ruins his credibility by turning it into a rant and being highly insensitive to Iwata. I don't think talking about a cancer victim like that is exactly appropriate, especially since Iwata died before he could see how successful the NX would be.

 

Matter of fact is that Nintendo's treatment of other devs has been great this gen and okay in gens 7/8. We do know they were terrible before and are still flawed. No one is claiming Nintendo is perfect. 

 

This all could've been prevented had he kept his cool and not said the idiotic statements.
