The Japanese people love 'made in Japan' in a way that few others do. Furthermore, you wrote a lot of 'I' statements but eastern countries subscribe to collectivists values and the case could be made of Mario as a civic institution that belongs to the whole, not to be sold away to some foreigner. Depending on where you go with the traditional spiritualism, Mario might even have a soul and not merely be a property to be traded at all. This does not fit neatly onto a spreadsheet or make for a good HN-type answer, but cultural values, religious values, family values, overall different social contracts, etc are perfectly valid levers that will constantly bite you if you are only interested in your personal abilities or things that can be quantified on a spreadsheet, esp when working with people of other countries. |
