Iwata was a playful public face for the company. He also had the gamer’s and developer’s perspective in things, he wasn’t just a guy in suit to make sure that lines go up and all the investors can clap their hands. He had a more consumer-oriented perspective in mind along with Reggie. When Nintendo made operating loss, instead of laying off staff and blaming others, he owned it and temporarily sliced his salary. The world of gaming needs more people like Iwata, and the words he said are more relevant than ever.

Hopefully!

The plan? Enshittification.
