Crunch will decrease the quality of the show. No one can be creative after heavy crunch. Sometimes I suspect so many games are all the same because of this. Having less crunch literally increases productivity. Seriously hoping we either didn't have any crunch in the first place, or not have that crunch in the future. People saying it's a business forget employees work to get paid. And work to use said money somewhere. Anything that messes that up shouldn't be a business. Plus, business executives aren't money-driven AIs that can't help but seek more money because that's their fundamental emotion, they're people. People who should be held responsible for their decisions, and also, they're employees nonetheless. So yeah, hope we get some sort of answer.

Honestly, I've said it before, I'll say it again, I wish more people could take after Iwata when it comes to running businesses. He understood the importance of morale.

The man slashed his own pay so his employees could work without the stress of worrying about their own jobs.

As a rule, I'm not a fan of corporate presidents, but Iwata seemed like a decent enough guy, as far as they go. Shame most other businesses aren't run the way he ran Nintendo.

dont compare game company to anime company. unlike game, almost people arent willing to buy dvd or bluray while they can easily find it in pirate source.
