Sure, maybe it’s not Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory or even Google’s gimmicky offices that exude a cringey big-kid energy, but you wouldn’t think Shigeru Miyamoto, or all the other creative minds of Nintendo EPD, would spend their day-to-day in a giant corporate concrete block, which another developer I spoke to jokingly referred to as, “the place where dreams go to die”.Yet…
