    Their crunch culture is def bad (they’re going to kill Sakurai one day), but there is quite a few things they do right. They don’t lay people off and their executives take accountability. Iwata took a significant pay cut when the Wii U flopped.

      They can’t lay people off, so they just put them in a room with no work to do until they get so bored that they quit. It’s the same thing but different.

        Why would I quit my dream job? Getting paid so sit doing nothing is my life long goal.

            You wouldn’t have a notebook. Any and all stimuli would be banned as the purpose is making your experience horrible.

            Also, you get incredibly mundane tasks as well. Maybe you’ll get a couple sheets of random symbols and are tasked to count a certain letter. And if you don’t do this task you can be laid off for underperforming.

            Just making sure you realize the company would have the copyright for anything you create while on the clock…

              “Fuck, well, publish it as another light novel. I’m sure they’ll quit soon.”

                Ah your next novel is done? Make sure noone reads it, it would diminish the value of the tax-writeoff when we delete it.

          Exactly, I would start taking naps and watch movies. You can’t bore or shame me into quitting, the second I know it’s a game, I will be breaking a b**** lol
