Yo, EA isn’t making any games for WiiU. Oops, Nintendo.

I think most people would consider this a good thing

No rushed, repeated sequels? No forced multiplayer gameplay?

Yeeeaahhhh, definitely oops Nintendo.

No millions-selling sports games…

Terminating online passes does not completely redeem all of the horrible things about EA. yes, they have some money making games, but their company policies are horrible, and I’m glad they won’t be riddling the Wii U.

And my point is companies change and maybe we might see this with EA.  Maybe keep an open mind we’ll see.  I mean, I really hope I’m not disappointed by this, but I am being an optimist here.  And no matter what, Nintendo is losing money and customers as a result of this.  After all, if these games did come out, nothing forces a consumer to buy it, but it attracts more consumers, makes the system a better option for some, which would lead to more system sales.  This lead to more developers hoping to take advantage of the larger install base.

Bottom line: more developers and publishers behind a system: more (and better) games can be released for that system.

No millions-selling sports games (Nintendo wanted a piece of that market), no Star Wars games (that’s at least a little painful, especially with DICE making one), none of the exciting (for the shooter crowd) Battlefield 4.  Keep in mind EA canned their CEO and has announced the end of online passes, while also terminating the Tiger Woods franchise and the Medal of Honor series…

Yes, but I’m only in DC overnight, then I come home and work my retail job over the summer.  I’ve been a few times and love it, but I have to earn money.  And she’ll be busy, but at least she’ll have the weekends to enjoy the city.

Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage.

Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize.

So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.
