These days you might have seen one of the best opportunities to pick up the complete Yakuza series (minus Like a Dragon) at GOG, where it’s 70% off. However, if you do get your hands on this bundle, be aware that there is a major change in the games credits, where many game developers and even the original creator of Yakuza, Toshihiro Nagoshihave been deleted, as this user discovered on Reddit.
The reason is that Nagoshi and the developers have left Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to found a new studio (Nagoshi Studios) under the NetEase umbrella, and RGG did not appreciate their departure. And in addition to Nagoshi and his team, all members of Lab42the studio that made the PC versions of Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami, have also been removed credits. Kamurocho does not forgive, but he forgets, it seems.
The issue of properly crediting developers in video games is a constant conflict for workers, with many companies being criticized for not giving proper credit to creators. There are no real regulations beyond the International Game Developers Association (IDGA) guidelines, which state that anyone who has worked on a game’s development for 30 days or 5% must be credited, n has no legal basis, so the developers are at the mercy of the studios on this.
