		Naka isn’t cutting off all ties with Sega; Sega will be investing 10% of the $90,000 startup cost for the studio, and the US and European branches of Sega have already committed to publishing games from the new development house.
		This could be a strong possibility for letting Naka go, while still keeping some ties in case he can “recapture the magic” in the eyes of Sega corporate.
		Ultimately, while Sega is keeping some measure of connection to Yuji Naka, having the creator of one of the most important franchises in Sega history is a huge moment, and hopefully, Naka can unleash more creativity in the future to bring great gaming to the public.
