I’m not sure about WB but Disney definetly wants to look good.

Nintendo however pretty consistently is perfectly fine being huge assholes

WB is very quick to announce some new diverse DC project whenever Ray Fisher calls them out for their racism or Joss Whedon's abuses on the set of the Justice League reshoot set. One time they even announced a live action Frosty the Snowman movie starring Jason Momoa, which he even called out as a complete fabrication.

Remember hearing that the Japan branch had relatively high worker happiness and pay, wondering if that was true or if there is really that big of a discrepancy between there and here.

No its not you dingus, a worker filing a NLRB termination complaint is not a thing you would move a release date to cover up

Disney very hastily threw out the Obiwan Kenobi tv show teaser trailer and other PR for it the day they were getting a lot of backlash for donating to the Don't Say Gay bill.

I'm not saying Nintendo is doing something similar, I'm saying it's not out of the realm of possibility.

A worker filing a NLRB termination complaint without any context is not earth shattering news. It would own if we lived in a world where companies were actually afraid of those but we don't

Yeah I very much doubt Nintendo announced it just to cover up poo poo the American branch got outed for. They're poo poo but they don't really employ damage control all that often unless the public backlash is that bad, and even then a good portion of the time they don't give a gently caress.

Corporations are deathly afraid of organization. I'm not familiar with the NLRB or NLRB termination complaints, but they are probably taking them a lot more seriously what with Activision Blizzard constantly in the news and Starbucks and Amazon seeing unions successfully pop up.

I'm not defending them turbo dingus, I'm saying it's really unlikely they moved a release date of a major game to cover up a NLRB complaint, a thing that happens frequently.

If they wanted to combat that news they'd just replay the Nintendo Minute people who split off saying the company was great and fairly accommodating.

Likely they do not care and it will not make an impact. Advance Wars being delayed is a bigger deal to them, and probably to people overall.
