The developer uses a pseudonym of Hideo Nanashi:

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

"In Japan, you have these evil companies that always crop up, and unlike the West, in Japan there's a perception that "play" is bad, the opposite of hard work. So amusement-oriented industries inevitably become infested with evil companies and ties to the underworld. Take arcades, for example. In legal terms, they're covered under laws regarding the entertainment and amusement trades. So they're managed under the same laws that regulate the adult, or "pink", industry. Because of that, the underworld gets involved. The only companies that have been able to do business while staying clean are probably Nintendo and Namco."

The name of the company has obviously been removed..

Keep in mind that this is still a rumor, though most likely is true.. :/

Why is it likely true?

First thought SEGA, but SEGA cooperates with Nintendo frequently.

But ultimately this sounds sooo stupid.

LOL, this pic cracked me up. x ) Oh man, too good...

Also, on the rumor. I hope it's false. : < That would be really bad and sad for the dev...

This isnt a current event and its definitely SEGA during the rivalry with Nintendo.

Only Namco and Nintendo... yeah, I am certain that Sony, Capcom and Square are financing their games from prostitution and by selling crack to Kaz.

Come on, I am certain that there is something to the story, but I doubt it is that sensational and frequent as they claim...

Konami sinks and sinks. Next week it probably turns out that Yakuza are run by Konami.

Of course it is Sega. 

"SEGA!"

I bet this is some BS rumor, people think because its Japan it must be true..
