Today has not been a great day for the gaming industry as a whole. Microsoft is letting numerous people go from the Xbox brand, including canceling titles and shutting down entire studios, to try and “recoup costs.” Or, as Phil Spencer is trying to spin it, “ensure future success.” Obviously, many aren’t buying it, including myself, and it makes me ever more grateful for Nintendo, which has proven to have the “right view of things,” including when it comes to paying the top people in the company, like President Shuntaro Furukawa.
In MANY gaming companies, we hear how they get “big paychecks” and “massive bonuses,” no matter the success or failure of their games. However, as revealed by Insider Stealth, the top execs at Nintendo don’t make as much as you’d suspect:
Why does this matter? First, due to the success of the OG Switch, Nintendo’s profits and stocks are at all-time highs. Yet, the company’s top brass isn’t making over 2 million a piece. That shows that while they are driven to success, they are also driven to keep their COMPANY afloat and happy, with various teams being brought in or created to make great titles.
That’s in...
