Imagine if he didn’t push back so hard when Sega of Japan wanted to make the Dreamcast digital only.
I originally published it on September 9, 2016. I re-branded recently and the link was broken, so I re-published.
The unfortunate thing is that he revealed in detail why he was fired from sega and he first said I could publish it. He called me after speaking to Nakayama and asked me not to.
This is a myth. The truth is that Okawa almost killed it. Bernie fought for it.
Okawa wanted to sell games exclusively via a digital store and not sell games at retail. Bernie told him he was wrong. Okawa told him that Americans have a short attention span and wouldn't remember what happened in a short time. Bernie, in no uncertain terms, told Okawa he was wrong. He was fired the next day.
