GungHo, the Japanese studio behind mobile gacha hit Puzzle & Dragons, has refuted claims its president receives too high a salary - on par with that of Nintendo's boss. Now, the GungHo board of directors has opposed all of the proposals made by its shareholders (thanks Automaton), claiming they misunderstand the "highly competitive" mobile game marketplace.
