Uh oh, how will this effect their game releases in the US (and worldwide), and well there's so many questions I want to ask but I don't know where to start. Sad

Nothing. Cause Atlus now owned by Sega - read the article.

I'm aware of that, but sometime a scandal like the arrest of former Atlus parent company's head can cause delay, I've seen it in other part of the industry.

To quote most Japanese street men, "Oy, Oy, Oy!!" And if I could say more I'd say it. What the hell is wrong with people these days. I mean folks must be in desperate need of something in this bad economy. It's never ending. What ever happened to folks when they did honest work? That's just gone out the damn window. Well, I hope this won't effect anything.

Like he said, with Atlus now owned by Sega, i'm certain pretty much any future projects will be unaffected by this so it's nothing to worry about; end of story.

Being honest died a loooong time ago. Most corporations have whole legal departments devoted to not losing money in any way possible, and ones to making money through means as close to illegal as possible. I'm surprised people are even shocked by this behavior anymore.

And changes in management for companies like this usually affect nothing, they just replace the guy and all of the teams already working on their projects continue without any falter.

You got that right. But the thing is people don't really notice it until it's announced. By that time folks have gotten caught. Then it's back to sleep until someone steals another cookie from the cookie jar. Oh well...

I'm not saying that mismanaging records is right and I'm not encouraging it, but if you would, why on Earth would you choose to hide such a massive number? People tend to notice $176 million up and gone.
