Have you see the price? It's definitely high end. It's not Louis Vuitton obv.
Not that it matters much, but it seems like Herman Miller are giving it to him for free rather than Nintendo buying it. It's free publicity for them so it's win-win.
As much as I liked the guy and love seeing companies give away stuff, he could have easily replaced every chair in every house of his with these.
Exactly. He can buy 100 of his own luxury chairs but all the money in the world can't buy him, say, a drawing of a Retro Studios character designer with signatures from the entire team. (He also can't buy the internet storm he brewed over teasing us with that picture while blocking the view from the new character in it). That's a good gesture, not a chair anyone can buy for themselves.
Buying cheap food for sustenance equated to a millionaire getting a luxury item for free. Here, let my stuck eyes join yours.
By that logic then people who make over a certain amount shouldn't be gifted anything? No gifts on birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc...just because well, they could buy it themselves? The man worked hard for what he has and he stayed humbled throughout as well. Sure he could just buy one of these, but the best kind of gifts aren't necessarily just about the item but the thought behind it. Let the man feel loved.
Besides. It's a damn office chair that would be in some warehouse if never ordered. It's a cheap advertisement from Herman Miller's POV. Reggie didn't ask for it. It was a gift.
My eyes rolled back further at this being one of the worst analogies I've ever read. I don't buy a McDouble to satisfy some random rich guy I've never met, I buy it because food is kinda considered an essential good.
lol yeah, that was my first thought
It's really, really funny. Some people must be filled with rage every time they walk past a shop that sells anything even remotely luxurious. Like a PlayStation.
I certainly hope I don't run into one of those people while I'm actually at the store BUYING a game.
The chair cost as much as an Xbox one X, so there's a lot of people here with blood on their hands.
I don't see salt though, just reasonable people who are not overly attached to a corporation for weird reasons.
That figure would be considered a "free luxury item", and would cause just as much salt as the chair has. A lot of the anger in the thread is directed at wealthy people recieving any kind of "free, luxury" gift.
