I just think what makes this novel is given Nintendo's position in the company it definitely creates positive pr for them and for workers. Sure the president and his directors are rich if we go by a "loose standard" but at the same time if we compare it to the US banks like Goldman Sachs, CITI and other corporations, they were instead issuing bonuses and, in cases they were cut, receiving complaints for instances it was cut.
Its about the "class" I suppose is made from a decisions. Decisions like this would do wonders for a lot of companies in the US and would go a long way toward at least easing some tension that is created by executive pay. Not like I have delusions of it happening but its nice to know it happens somewhere in the world I suppose =3
