Nintendo RU LLC. (Nintendo of Russia) CEO cusses at employees during live stream

[JB2448]

Edit: The video starts with strange music and there's some screen flashing for those who are photosensitive or prone to seizures. The stream recording starts at the 2:08 mark.


Remember, this is Nintendo of Russia, an official branch of Nintendo (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/en/outline/index.html), and the hosts did a relatively good job of keeping everything together, but this is something that needs to be spread around.

Edit 2 (summary):

Angry boss does not understand how live streaming on a site works. Threatened to fire someone and cusses quite a bit on stream cause he's venting since he thinks the stream isn't working.

He also walks into (and remains in) the shot as 2 hosts try to issue commentary, all the while the CEO's tirade is picked up by their mics. The broadcast technician(s) try to save the stream by going into full screen gameplay but this seems to further the CEO's doubt that the stream is live.

Edit 3 (tl;dr):

TL:DR version. On a Mario Kart tourney being live streamed by Nintendo of Russia, the CEO stands behind the hosts, and gets intensely frustrated due to not understanding how streaming works.

He starts cussing out those around him, and throws around the word "retard" at others all on stream, and while the hosts are just trying to keep the tourney moving on.

Does not even comprehend with any notion of professionalism

Edit 4 (even more evidence of his behavior; read the full post quoted, including its quotes):

So, after video gone viral, local gaming portals asked former NoR employees about their experience with Yasha. Shit's fucked up.

Watching the video atm, but I gotta say the music before it kicks in is creepy as fuck on this.

 

[louisacommie]

What a world

 

[PCPace]

What happens and why does it need to be spread around?

I don't really want to see a man have a nervous breakdown. Why should other people also see it?

 

[TrickyAssist]

On mobile, can someone give me a tl;dw?

 

[BringBackSonics]

Yeah, I generally don't like watching videos where someone shit cans his career.

 

[JakeNoseIt]

That was rough

 

[Cyanity]

Is this something we should actually be watching, or is the man having a legitimate nervous breakdown

 

[Bishop89]

At work, transcript? Tldr version?

No he's just behaving very unprofessionally on stream (he didn't know it was live)

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

I wonder if this is a regular thing because the guy on the right looked so done with it as soon as the interruptions started.

 

[Deleted member 5535]

I don't have any idea what happened here.

 

[Brazil]

That introduction to the video... C'mon.

 

[GeoNeo]

Seems like some Russian propaganda the GM seems like a stand up guy.

 

[aiswyda]

You might wanna add a warning about the flashing screen at some point--It gave me a super bad headache and I worry it might trigger a seizure if someone is prone to those.

Otherwise, this is wild. This guy has absolutely no awareness whatsoever of what's going on and doesn't seem capable of being in this position.

 

[Deleted member 224]

The guy basically freaks out because he wasn't informed that a stream was happening. He should be fired.

Double post.

 

[JayCB64]

Well that was all extremely unprofessional..guy seems like a jackass.

 

[Atheerios]

Some quotes the CEO said on stream:

 

[Deleted member 249]

Someone give a summary?

 

[Strings]

Errrr, watched the entire thing, and hardly a meltdown. Like, incompetent from everyone involved, and that's about as far as I'd go :/ Most of the swearing was even from the other guy?

Also, this might seriously need a seizure warning because of the stream going haywire at one point.

 

[PocketCircuitRacer]

Wow that guy is a jerk. They keep saying their live and he is berating people in the background. What the heck was the part of the video where the CEO is talking about paying a third party? Sounded like some shady shit.

Fair, I can definitely do that.

Yeah, this video's format is sensationalized.

If you know anything about the situation, please share it with everyone. I'm just going off of the information in this video.

 

[Vilix]

Well, someone won't have a job tomorrow.

 

[Philly Cheesesteak]

Oof. Leave your Mario cap at the door.

 

[Deleted member 32018]

Seems like this video was created just to cause trouble. Even in the comments "Someone should post this on ResetEra."

 

[DeuceGamer]

Doesn't seem qualified for the position. If he doesn't understand how this works he has to trust he has the right people in place, or put the right people in place. His behavior is definitely not something I would think Nintendo would be happy with.

I didn't see that in the comments either.
I'm not sure about it now. Does anyone browsing that can post have more information about the situation outside of what the video shows?

[Slayven]

Not a melt down, but seemed like a shit show . And from the reactions one that happens a lot

 

[Jessie]

This is pretty tame compared to some of the things I've heard executives say in rooms that are not being live streamed.

(Covering my ass here... not defending ableism or slurs or anything of the sort. I'm just saying that it's common for executives to behave badly behind closed doors.)

 

[Slayven]

Shout out to the dude in the hat, he is the real MVP

 

[Biske]

Hardly what I would call a meltdown. Not how one should act but eh.

Video was not worth watching.

When he leaned over and told the guy to cover his mic. I knew that guy was not gonna be paid what he was worth lol.

 

[MotionBlue]

This seems like such a clusterfuck, streaming is a pretty simple concept. The one commentator mentions he will never work with Nintendo again. Can Nintendo actually do something? Russia is a corrupt hellhole, I'm curious if he would be fired over something as awful as this.

Our marketing was a success—everyone knows that Era is the correct site to ridicule now, rather than GAF.

[BizzyBum]

Eh, I wouldn't really call that a meltdown. I was expecting the dude to start fighting people and destroying the stream setup or something.

Definitely seems like a total ass, though.

 

[Apollo]

Aleksei, I think it was, looked shook the whole video.

 

[JB2448]

Perhaps a better title than "meltdown" would work. Something like "starts angrily venting at employees on stream," maybe.

 

[Richietto]

Cussing and calling someone a retard on stream will get him fired. And good, he seems like a fucking bitch.
