Of all the hardware manufacturers in gaming, Nintendo is known for using the most child labour and conflict minerals (minerals bought from war zone militia's). They are also the only company that feels this is not their problem and that refuse to take steps to rectify this with audits or supply chain shifts.
If you buy a Nintendo product, you directly contributing to war and the enslavement of thousands.
Reminder that there is literally nothing wrong with child labor.
Reminder that the alternative is prostitution.
Reminder that work builds character.
>percentage of progress as a unit of measurement
As if anyone gives a shit.
>>319407187
i don't care whatever happens to brown kids in 3rd world countries means nothing to me
the onyl reason sony and microsoft are higher is because as a company they make more than consoles. reminder all consoles are made by the same 4-5 hardware factories in the same place.
That's the reason why their stuff is cheap.
The alternative is paying more for nonconflict materials for the same thing so that some whore can feel good about herself for 'saving da children', no thanks.
>>319407496
there is when you project post industrial values onto every other stage of economic development.
i read an article one time that talked about aid workers in india handing out condoms to local villagers and showing them how they're used. the villagers politely accepted them and never used them. why? because they don't view children as a burden like modernized societies do, because children produce valuable labor for poor families that cant afford to pay wages to a nonfamily member.
>>319407187
>precentage of progress
so companies that don't use much child labor at all score close to 0 because there's no progress to make. nice chart there.
>buying Nintendo kills 3rd worlders
when can I pre-order NX?

Why does Nintendo not audit their supply chain like every other company?
>>319407187
Nintendo: FROM kids, FOR kids.
What a shit thread.
So anyway I was thinking of finally getting around to buying a 3DS, not going to not get an XL, but should I just get a regular with a bunch of games or "New" 3DS without shit. I don't care about the 3D or web browsing, but is it likely that shit like the next Zelda handheld will be only for the new 3DS? How hard does Nintendo want to push that shit? I've not been keeping up.
>>319407187
This is false. In an interview with someone a while back, Nintendo stated that they don't give any information to these people, but they continue to rate them as if they did.
>>319408045
Why should they?

Obviously no one cares?
As I said above; it costs me a lot of time and money to go to africa regularly and kill nigs, so it seems good PR for me that they aren't doing it.

Nice one. And they say Nintendo doesn't have marketers..

>>319408586

>>319408684
Every other company has a complete program and some are even working with the local government.
Nintendo doesn't and tries to hide it under "we're not talking about it".
Nintendo has a long history of shady dealings with yakuza and using raketeering schemes. They tend to 'not talk' about a lot of things.
>>319408654
Read it
>>319408731
The power of shitposting
>>319408654
Nintendo is a privately owned, classical Japanese company. Giving out any data is against their policies, regardless of whatever PR it might bring.
>>319408847
Actually, Namco and Nintendo are the only ones who are actively avoiding the yakuza these days.
>>319408851
I have. It contains, as previously mentioned, nothing besides corporate doublespeak meant to make people like you think they're doing stuff.
Every other company spends millions and they tell the world about it.
Nintendo spends nothing and are ashamed.
You know an aspiring PMC could take all those "conflict minerals" pretty damn easily themselves and remove the whole child labour thing.
Or really any military.
It's literally just a bunch of niggers with AKs thinking they're big dogs because nobody tries to push their shit in.
I really don't know why nobody bowls them over, it would benefit the locals AND whoever does the dirty work.
>>319408815
Look; you haven't answered my question, and at the current rate; you aren't. I don't even own a nintendo product, I just know that nintendo's policy on most shit is "DON'T FUCKING SAY ANYTHING, refer to COMPANY POLICY"
They are not required to talk if they don't want.
They obviously aren't doing anything illegal (as since 2014, they have to make reports on what they do to the GOV, someone they do have to talk to, and they still exist as a company)
>all japanese companies in lower half
>>319408847
No, they just keep shit to themselves. They've always been like this. Why do these conflict mineral threads pop up so infrequently? This is the second one I've ever seen in this board.
Nintendo has a clear policy banning the use of conflict minerals* in any of our products. This can be found in the Nintendo CSR Procurement Guidelines. The Business Status Survey is used to confirm that all production partners are in compliance.
In fiscal year 2012, Nintendo issued a questionnaire to its relevant production partners to determine whether they have policies and business practices in place to avoid the use of conflict minerals. This survey was given to the companies among Nintendo's production partners who handle materials that might possibly contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.
In addition, Nintendo conducts on-site inspections with each production partner to discuss the issue of conflict minerals with both supervisors and workers on the manufacturing floor.
Moving forward, Nintendo is committed to working with its production partners to formulate and implement the appropriate measures to ensure that conflict minerals are not used in our products.
Recently, we have been actively working on confirming the origin of materials that we use based on our policy of non-use of conflict materials. We follow EICC's (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) code of conduct, and cooperate with our industrial organization (JEITA) and business partners in order to take effective steps towards the issue.
We request that our suppliers not use conflict minerals in their products, and we periodically confirm that there are no conflict minerals in the products we supply to our customers. We actively work on CSR issues, including the conflict minerals issue, with our suppliers.

I wonder how many of the employees of these companies buy clothing or use products forged with slave or sweat shop labour.Hint: its all of them
>>319409582
Its not good unless children suffered to make it.
>>319407187
Not exactly. The reason Nintendo always gets the lowest possible score on these is because they don't comply/participate with the organization doing the survey. So the truth is we don't know, though their record's probably not fantastic, otherwise they'd want to brag about it.
>>319409131
It's a source of cheap supplies. Removing the dumb niggers and replacing them with a group with even a modicum of business sense or education would ruin the appeal.
>>319407187
God i hate delusional environment leftists. Meaning they are tracked as save at some point dosent mean they dont originate from places ruled by military government and extracted using child labor. A lot of clean diamonds for example are still the same as blood diamonds the difference is just that extra money gets paid to "wash" them so green idiots can sleep at night and shut up.
Reminder you can get a higher score on these "surveys" by donating money to the company and to charities. Its all just a racket to line the pockets fat fucks in suits.
>>319407187
Am I supposed to give a shit?

>>319409501
Yeah, you should believe me rather than them.
And I can confirm that Nintendo actually uses slaves in their offices
>>319410248
PS4 and xbox are made with child labor too but nobody cares about chinks because there are 1 billion of them.
Save da blacks
>>319407187
gotta love that videogame discussion
Give me one good reason why i as a waddy tudor jones/anri du toit/ die antwoord fan should give two shits about "conflict materials"?
Doesn't Nintendo get a 0 because they refuse to release information? Not saying Nintendo is innocent, but if you don't release information the survery company automatically marks you 0.
I wish i was an SS guard at the NINTENDO SLAVE LABOR CAMPS
most cars in the world run on"conflict oil" and nobody complains.
>>319407187
If you buy any products you're directly contributing. That shit isn't isolated. It's a mesh of interconnected networks of businesses and practices that hold it up. Buying anything increases the profits of corporations which themselves operate in a highly systematic manner to control laws and government which not only allow but are necessary and intended to contribute operating enslavement and producing economic impacts to virtually guarantee new slaves.
So, don't buy any of that shit if you can help it. Every purchase you make goes towards fucking yourself in the ass.
>>319410585
That is why they get a 0 yes. But the question everyone is asking in turn, is why they refuse to say anything. The most likely reason being having something to hide.
>>319408291
If they're busy working in Africa they're producing other resources that are used by people shitting on your country, also the people they work for directly shit on their country.
>>319410769
Its Nintendo they have always been stingy with company info and its for the better
>>319410683
That's factually incorrect, people complain all the time. Nothing gets done and it's never actually addressed but it's complained about.

>green, companies with 30% and over
>unit of measurement is "progress"
>the chart only goes out to 70%
What the fuck am I looking at?
Why do they have to explain the coloring? Whats special about 30% and 10%?
>>319407187
Sure is video games in here, definitely not an ad hominem excuse for console warring.
>>319410864
>they're producing other resources that are used by people shitting on your country
If they create jobs and profit in my country i don't see how they are shitting on it.

Stating facts
From my standpoint those nogs in war-torn Africa are going to be putting their kids into dangerous jobs whether companies are buying or not. If silicone or whatever is no longer profitable (which we be very, very difficult to achieve considering how work is done around there), the kids will just be made into child soldiers regardless.
>>319411116
>30%=they paid us enough
>10%=send us more money next time
So the percentage isn't like "Raw goods from non-conflict zones/Total raw goods" or anything? They really just asked them about "what steps they took", and turned that into some nebulous percentage of "progress"?
How does shit like this get printed?
>>319407187
That's why I haven't bought anything Nintendo since the N64.
They are the worst kikes in the business world.
They even kill their own CEOs (happened 4 times already) and make it look like an accident or terminal illness.

My 3ds sure as fuck isn't made of that. Rather it seems to be made of plastic that breaks when looking at it for too long
>>319407187
This could also imply that Nintendo doesn't use ANY conflict materials. so they have no progress towards "proper" obtainment.
>>319412390
Always has to be one who is that naive.
>>319412363
Nintendium supplies are running low, they have been for a bit which is why their shit isn't as durable as before. It's still strong as fuck, but not GC era strong.
Also you might just suck at holding shit, like when sm4sh came out and everyone with retard hands complained about their 3ds circlepad breaking.
>>319412804
Holding it wrong makes the hinges weak and wobbly? gotcha.

What? They make their costumers pay ou t of their ass for outdated technology. Yeah sony and microsoft might charge a litle bit extra for their consoles/handhelds but you get newer technology.
