Michael Jackson, en av världens största ikoner inom underhållningsbranschen, gick bort under torsdagskvällen, svensk tid. Reaktionerna har varit många och minst lika varierande, men lite otippat var det nog när Sega uttalade sig om stjärnans oväntade bortgång.
Till amerikanska MTV sade Sega:
We here at SEGA were very sad to hear about the passing of Michael Jackson. He was a true music legend whose songs touched each of us at some point in our lives. We are proud to have worked with him and included his music in some of our most well-remembered games and are sure that his genius will live on through his great body of work. We have no doubt that future generations will be moonwalking to all his greatest hits.
Vidare har Segas amerikanska kontor bloggat om de Sega-spel som stoltserat med Michaels närvaro i digital form, nämligen Moonwalker och Space Channel 5 Part 2. Det blogginlägget finns att läsa här.
