Macintendo family values

Yoshi Secret Ah, satire, I may have to write you a letter to let you know that now that the Internet is here, your day is done (apparently taking David Pogue seriously wasn’t enough of a signal). Daniel Jalkut’s very funny Macintendo Family Values is now prefaced by a very long disclaimer. It makes me sad that it’s necessary, but I suppose it’s a fault of the text medium. Some people still take A Modest Proposal seriously.

We at Red Sweater Software were lucky enough to be among the first to learn of this unbelievable development, when the popular Nintendo character Yoshi bounced into the office and delivered the news, along with a complete copy of the previously confidential family values document. We are pleased to be able to reproduce this document publicly, in its entirety. As an indie developer, I’m not sure I agree completely with the “Product Then Platform” family value, but I can sort of see the logic.

It’s worth a chuckle, particularly if you’re all alone, hunched over your computer tonight.
