@TheRedComet If this story is true, yeah, Yuji Naka was stuck in the 90s and didn't imagine how powerful globalization had become. Japan isn't at the forefront of game making anymore; it's all about working with other developers in other countries to come up with new ideas in story, gameplay, and technology.
Yuji Naka seems to only care about outdated gameplay concepts that were found in Balan Wonderworld and didn't seem to be open to implementing new ideas from the modern era. I didn't understand the hate behind Yuji Naka until I found out about Balan Wonderworld's troubled development and this story. Although we haven't heard Yuji Naka's side of the story, we won't ever know the 100% truth from both sides.
