But I just want to say Hideki Kamiya sounds like a ass in his Twitter

That's been his shtick for years. I'll admit I found it funny at first because I wanted to cheer the "passionate game auteur with the nfg attitude." But after 10-15 years of acting like a petulant asshole... he just comes across like a petulant asshole.

As for this specific story, I'm not excusing Platinum or Nintendo at all, but I read another take that commented on the rarity of actual firing/dismissal in Japanese culture, and that a company is more likely to lowball a contractor/employee if they want to be rid of them. Maybe this was their tactic to severe ties with the original VA, because Jennifer Hale is almost certainly one of the biggest names in the business and wouldn't have accepted a lowball offer herself.

It still looks like an exceptionally douchey and unprofessional movie, but I doubt the companies' underlying intent was about money.
