I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

Not sure how significant this will be yet, if at all. They were already owned by a company that specialized in F2P, just changing to a similar company for funding. They say they'll still have creative control and will focus more on consoles

I thought NetEase sounded familiar. They're the same company that Toshihiro Nagoshi (Yakuza series creator) was in talks with prior to his leaving Sega. He definitely left Sega, but they haven't announced him being part of NetEase yet.

But yeah, NetEase is looking for talent. Gonna be hopefully an interesting time and not a super depressing time. >_>
