thank you to mr. iwata for making so many people - children and adults alike - smile, laugh & have fun. we will never, ever forget your whimsical spirit. rest in peace… i’m sending love/positivity/prayers to your family and co-workers.
I don’t give a shit you can badmouth Nintendo as a company all you like but when the WiiU was underselling Satoru Iwata stepped up to the fucking plate and halved his goddamn salary so he wouldn’t have to lay people off. Ask any other CEO to do that and they’ll probably look at you like you’ve told them the moon is made of purple goat yogurt or something.
Iwata went from being a game developer to president of the company he made games for and had a unique perspective because of it. He was a treasure and his loss is a tragedy.
Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata, has passed away at age 55
The world has lost a brilliant mind this day, Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.
Thank you.
