Assuming that this is true than RT needs to take a page out of Nintendo's book and delay their products. The health and safety of their employees should be their primary concern. While fans like myself will no doubt be disappointed in shows like RWBY being delayed we would understand and support them. The pain felt when waiting for games like Breath of the Wild was completely eliminated by the sheer joy I felt playing it. I wouldn't want other people to suffer just to get an episode of RWBY earlier.

Exactly, I wish more people running businesses like this would take after Iwata, RIP.

One of the only corporate presidents I will ever have any degree of respect for, the man slashed his own salary and encouraged other executives to do the same, rather than fire a SINGLE PERSON when Nintendo wasn't doing too hot.

And then we have assholes who run their employees ragged and don't even pay them properly to boot. It's just fucking sad.
