I am happy for their success, but I have a mixed opinion on their recent output.
A slight tangent, but you really see how far gaming has come when a relatively niche (by broader social standards, it’s not like GTA or even say Super Mario) RPG company gets a piece in the New York Times.
It’s not an article every day, but the NYT has had some pretty great gaming articles in the time I’ve been subscribed. There was a profile on Shigeru Miyamoto, sort of breaking the reality distortion field we’ve created around him and Nintendo, where he’s bringing up the new class of Nintendo designers with a goal to make games that can sell 30M copies. It’s also not uncommon for them to cover smaller games, as they, for instance, did a story on the still-unreleased Way to the Woods.
Sure, 20 years ago you’d never see something like this (and it’s not only NYT).
