    Another good Sega man gone…next it’ll probably be Nagoshi at this rate, seriously, who else is still at Sega from their last major rise in 1992?

    There’s hardly anyone left now…I think Reiko Kodama will leave next.

    Not many left from the go ol days at Sega. However some of the OG guys left their impression on the newer generation.
