Apparantly the former president of Sega died yesterday of a heart attack. He shared out his 85 Billion Yen worth of shares to staff which made up for the 80 Billion Yen lost through the Dreamcast. It is amazing what this man has done...We might not, and probably wont, see the same Sega ever again.

RIP Isao...

One man makes a company not, The Game. Isao indeed was a great man, and so is Shigsy, and if Shigsy dies, the end of gaming will not be upon us.

But Sega will live on... they've had their share of troubles, but I believe that Isao died at a monumental time in Sega's history, a turning point to where Sega will now become more powerful than you could possibly imagine... ;0)

Good luck Sega. You don't really need it, but every little helps. :0)

At least it weren't shigsy which would mean the end of games....
