A Leading Japanese Game Company Kidnapped a Dev's Sister to Stop Him Working With Nintendo?

No, we're not joking:

As per the article, apparently:

My younger sister was kidnapped. [REDACTED] hired some gangsters to do it. They did it to make me stop cooperating with Nintendo.


It then goes on to talk about Yazuka ties in the Japanese video game industry. Apparently the person in the story got so annoyed he dropped an arcade machine from a crane in front of said company's HQ to tell them to leave him alone, or something.

Yeah, that seems pretty messed up if you ask me.

And we thought game journalism is bad. Nope! The Yazuka is like "Nope! We just made that shit look like a kids toy in comparison! XD

Huh, first I'm hearing of this though I wonder if it's true? Be pretty crazy if so.

That is crazy!
Probably part of a past they want to brush under the carpet and hope no one finds it and brings it back to light again.

Yeah, probably. It's the kind of situation you think only happens in Hollywood movies.

Oh no, scratch that. You'd think it was unrealistic in a Hollywood movie about the gaming industry.
