There was a lot of animosity back then between the Japanese and American divisions of Sega which no doubt was a contributor. The company has had a pretty wild history through the decades. It’s amazing they managed to stay afloat but I’m glad they did. There’s some really top notch stuff coming from the company’s studios these days.
Yuji Naka is a legend and an important part of gaming history. Sad that he seems to be a real asshole as well.
