Warum gedeiht Nintendo? „In westlichen Unternehmen wird alles verworfen, was nicht profitabel ist. Aus geschäftlicher Sicht ist das logisch. Aber die japanische Spieleindustrie hat eine Kultur, die darauf basiert, Entwickler mit einer längerfristigen Perspektive zu fördern und die Qualität ihrer Arbeit stetig zu verbessern.“

and Japanese people wonder why their country is falling behind the West
Not Nintendo only but Japanese companies in general
I’m an engineer here for 10years and everything in Japanese companies is about following rules, even if you do a poor job as long as you follow the rules you’ll never be fired and higher ups will be satisfied
That’s also why the country is economically failing
The answer is probably unpaid overtime
…And *then* it’s discarded.
Make a new F-Zero, Nintendo! 😭
Not “the Japanese game industry”. Just Nintendo.
Other Japanese game studios treat/ed their devs just like if not as bad as western studios. Nintendo is an exception.
I am someone who works in the construction industry and the emphasis on raising long term employees and gradual improvement is huge. I personally like this culture. It has produced the most reliable and experienced engineers who has essentially built and maintained all of Japan’s impressive infrastructure and buildings.
TBH doing extreme in any side is harmful and causing problem
On western company especially publicly traded one are chasing short term profit to chase their growth, as Western company Obligated Legally to prioritize that, else they can be dragged to court by shareholder.
These days, Modern Western company are heading to doom hell as they breaking their talent pipeline, By not hiring entry level position they effectively killed the future leader path of the company.
I have never work on Japanese company but as someone from Asia with similar culture I can say Asia work culture pretty simillar, where we put older superior somewhat on higher social class than us, this always end up Killed the competition while promoting backstabbing to get superior favor, Which always end up killed the innovation, and promote nepotism which led to incompetent leader
Owning some of the most recognizable IPs in the world certainly helps
‘Japanese business culture’ has not been a compliment since the 90s
Nintendo don’t ship shitty games.
Except for Konami, because they’re the worst and will just keep churning out slop, and stacking the pachinko machines.
And I hope someday the world come to his senses and it’s the way everything operates again.
