Do you think that data design should be banned from making wii games? Or should they be given a chance to make better games? They are best known for the games Anubis the second, ninjabread man, Billy the knock off, action girlz racing, ect.

That's just like asking if it's legal for a boss to fire one of his workers. Nintendo is liscencing ddi's games, so it's up to them entirely if ddi gets banned from nintendo or not.

i think it's more of a case of "is it legal for us to close a company that's done nothing illegal?"

If the presence of bad games on a console affects you that much, you might want to reconsider the degree of your attachments in life. :P

it is legal for nintendo to fire ddi whenever they want. It's not about ddi doing something illegal , they are just bringing sales down. They aren't going to close ddi, they are just going to stop liscencing the games ddi makes.

But DDI isn't hired or employed by nintendo. They're two seperate companies.

(Data Design Interactive is) just bringing sales down.SMDan20

Really?

Who is going to look at the Wii, say to themselves, "The Wii has great games that I'd like to play; I'd buy it if only it didn't have Anubis II on it. :("?

first of all i don't think a video company can be banned. with that said bruno is right the only way to stop an company is to stop buying there games hell if it can work with a big company like midway then it can work with smaller ones with that sad i don't think data design made games in a while

time spent having fun on forums =/= time spent thinking that a console is worse because of games you don't have to play.

Well, some people like the box art of ddis games, so they buy the game, and they get sorely dissapointed, and prevents them from buying more Wii games. And sometimes people buy games like toy story 3, spiderman 3, iron man games, ect. that make the wii look bad. and ddi is just making it look worse. im just asking other people's opinions about ddi, and you guys are making a big deal about it. BTW, gamespot is NOT a real job. He looks at a computer screen all day. And if you call that "working", then i wonder how hard real work is to him.

first, misninformed people do stupid things all the time. we can't babysit them. second, while being a moderator is a volunteer job, saying that working in front of a computer is not really working is really stupid, especially when EVERY SINGLE GAME YOU'VE EVER PLAYED was made this way. people spending months in front of the computer, working their asses off to deliver you a game. there's a difference between what YOU do on a computer and what someone that works with computers does. oh and BTW, same goes for journalists, writers, economists, shopkeepers, engineers, pretty much every job. unless you plan on spending the rest of your life at a gas station.

But DDI isn't hired or employed by nintendo. They're two seperate companies.

basically its a licencing thing. any company that wants to make a game for a console needs permission from the manufacturer. so if DDi want to make wii games then they need a licence from nintendo. im not sure if its legal for ninty to revoke a granted licence if and when they see fit.....but they can stop DDI from making games on their platforms by refusing to provide a licence. also its a 1 licence per game system as far as i know. it would be nice to have DDI removed from development. they have contributed nada to the wii. but ninty have probably gotten a fair few quid in licence fees from DDI so its in their interest to keep them and any other publisher. there still going...clearly someone is buying their games (they probably only need 1 sale to turn a profit on their games :P). its a business thats working. its unfortunate....it would eb great if they actually put some effort in...but they wont because what they are currently doing works.

Gabu has a job that most of us would be jealous of.

And if you think I'm referring to him being a moderator, then.... you should probably rethink some things.

If someone buys a crappy game and is so discouraged by this that they never buy another game, then that's their own darn fault and their loss, not to mention that that seems rather unlikely considering that everyone knows that Nintendo games are good; that's why most people buy the Wii in the first place, after all. Nobody has ever looked at the box art of Ninjabread Man and then bought a Wii purely to play that game.

Also, you seem kind of confused, as none of Toy Story 3, Spider-Man 3, or Iron Man were made by Data Design Interactive; they were made by Avalanche Software (Toy Story 3), Treyarch (Spider-Man 3), and Secret Level (Iron Man).

BTW, gamespot is NOT a real job. He looks at a computer screen all day. And if you call that "working", then i wonder how hard real work is to him.SMDan20

Purely for the record, no, I don't work for GameSpot; moderating is just a volunteer activity on the side, and since my place of employment seems wholly irrelevant to this discussion, that's all I will say about that.

I didn't say that spiderman, iron man, and ts3 were by ddi, I just said that they are other bad wii games, and that ddi is just more bad games. ( ts3 for the wii only, the other versions are great.) and.... I'm sorry for having a short fuse and for predicting gamespot.com is the only thing you work for.

no, really. just try to learn a programming language. flash is pretty easy. but you have to do like a work, 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, with a 1 hour break for lunch. try it for a month. no, a week. let's see if you change your mind.

I know your name because it's right to the left of every post you make.

I mean I picked up on that really fast in this process. You see a post and then look to the left and you can see who wrote it

Not too sure why anyone is having trouble knowing who's posting what

Actually if you're on a message board and you don't know who's posting what should you really say anything to do with computers?

Nothing is gonna change my mind. Btw, you said you have to " work" on very tight schedules, huh? Then why aren't you working now? Lunch break? Oh please, stop trying to sound tough. A wuss like yourself doesn't know an inchling of what hard work is.SMDan20
"Work" isn't just physical. Social skills, for example, take a lot of work for some people. Being courteous also takes a lot of work sometimes, even though it doesn't involve any physical labor. And sitting down to THINK for hours on end can be just as exhausting as working hard physical labor for hours, sometimes even more so. I've done both.

reminds me of my last day before vacations... "WRITE THIS 2 PROGRAMS OR YOU FAIL" "but... but teacher! i'm travelling today, you know they aren't the easiest things to make!" "then hurry". ok it wasn't like that and my teacher's awesome, but boy was it a tiresome 3 hours... didn't even have lunch >.> but back to the topic, jordan (JordanElek, the guy with the assassin's creed avatar and green username) summed it up. why do you think studying all day long for a test the day after is so tiresome? it requires brainwork, and brainwork requires energy. A WHOLE LOT OF IT. so "psychological" work can be just as tiresome as working out all day. and BTW, a job isn't measured by how tired you are at the end of the day, just so you know.
