The founder of Namco, Masaya Nakamura, has passed away at the age of 91. While he left our planet on January 22, Bandai Namco made the announcement today per Nakamura's own wishes. The contributions he and his company made to the games industry can't be overstated, which makes all the more saddening that the man has left us. We wish all the best to his family and other people he held close.
