Head over there and scroll down to the bottom of the page till you hit the Corporate Contributors section and take a gander.

2k+ contributions: Playstation, Xbox, Microsoft Game Studios

1k+ contributions: Nintendo

Must be the whole profit-making policy thing eh?

:lol

Who's kiddy? =P

Dammit the 1000 doors Nintendo donated cleaned out their charity budget out. And they STILL scraped together 1k+ contributions? The Christmas spirit is strong in them dammit.

 

[Memles]

I noticed it when I saw the site...but I didn't laugh like an idiot. They are supporting the charity, the amount is really unimportant.

 

[xsarien]

Yes, let's make fun of companies who we feel didn't contribute enough to a children's charity! That will surely get us all in the Christmas spirit!

Not to mention that food drive. Where's Gahiggidy now? Good guys finish last, remember Gah!?

I was talking about this to a friend yesterday. It's bad from an image standpoint to not give as much as your competitors.

However, what really irks me is that Electronic Arts isn't on any of those lists. You'd think that the company with more money to throw around than anybody else could spare a few copies of Madden for some sick little kids. Greedy fucks.

See: 1000 Door thing, Food Drive for the Southwest Harvest or something.

Yeah I understand, but other people don't see that. All they see is Nintendo below Microsoft adn Sony.

Somebody add "contribute more to charities" to the "This is what Nintendo should do to win" template.

EA is currently trying to buy out Penny Arcade so they can take all the charity money for themselves.

IF ONLY THEY WOULD FEED THE CHILDREN NINTENDO WOULD BE IN 1ST

No no, EA just wants to buy 34% interest in Penny Arcade so they can decide its future and veto anything Gabe and Tycho try to do. Penny Arcade Underground Takedown Vendetta.

Then they'll buy the rest at a later date and relocate them to Los Angeles... and then shitcan them with form letters that have the word "Maxis" scratched out. This is after making them work 70 hour weeks for no overtime (and taking away their red Swingline staplers).

EA's stock will go up 7 points.

You forgot to use x-treme.

 

[SantaC]

Only on GAF is there someone who search the internet like crazy to find negative news (it's not even negative since it's donations) about Nintendo.
