Just something I learned the other day. An interesting and poignant piece of gaming history. Isao Okawa was Chairman of Sega during their most difficult time. He wasn't convinced on the idea of the Dreamcast, but supported it anyway to the bitter end. He gave his own money to keep Sega afloat. Upon his death, he forgave debts his debts, letting Sega continue to live. He donated all of his stock, estimated at $700 million back to Sega, so that they could avoid bankrupcy. He died just six weeks after Sega retreated from the idea of onling gaming through the Dreamcast.
