Yakuza Games' GOG Versions Under Fire for Missing Key Credits
TL;DR Summary
The Yakuza Complete Series on Good Old Games has removed credits for key people involved in the development of the franchise, including series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, who left Sega in 2021 to join NetEase. The credits for the studios involved in bringing the games to PC have also been removed, replaced with those of a mostly-Japanese "PC Development Team." The move has raised questions about studio politics and the importance of giving credit to everyone who worked on a game.
