People like Reggie and Phil Spencer are some of the faces we see that represent gaming console manufacturers like Nintendo and Xbox and are usually the ones that go out and issue statements and talk to the press.
Just using them as an example and not particularly singling them out, why is it that people like them always seem to skirt around the truth about certain things instead of just being honest....especially in the present climate where info is so easy to obtain online about shareholder meetings, leaked docs and all that. People can go and dig up stuff on the company online and make an educated guess on the reasoning behind your decision making.
Like for example, why didn't Reggie just say "look, we put out the NES Mini to make up for the lull of releases for the holiday season before the Switch, and we won't be making anymore because the games on it will come to and can be played on the Switch now that it has been released." Despite it basically saying "fuck you cause money" at the end of the day consumers aren't stupid and know what it comes down to ...and I feel like if you just be honest with your intentions then expectation can be set and pressure to respond to outrage over something being discontinued/changed/removed/delayed or whatever won't be AS great and vocal.
