Sega's US Hardware Team Resigns
August 26, 1997
Several members of Sega's Black Belt design team resigned last week.
While it was understood that the decision to use
PowerVR instead of 3Dfx was somewhat disheartening
to the US design team (that had been large
proponents of 3Dfx technology from the beginning)
it seems that this factor may have been enough to
push at least five and as many as ten of the
hardware team's members to abandon Sega entirely.
The resignations allegedly happened late last week
and already many of the members are said to have
jobs at new companies.
In other Black Belt news, Sega of America has now
officially begun referring to the system as
`Dural' (which was the name used by Sega's
Japanese hardware division which chose in favor of
PowerVR) in internal communications and already
early development kits have begun reaching
developers just last week.
A spokesperson from Sega told Next Generation
Online that he was "unaware of any resignations
that have happened recently."
Next Generation Online will continue to cover
further Dural events as they happen.
