At times like this in addition to the listed donation channels a prayer is desperately needed.
Original Story
State of Japan - After Earth Quake
We are sure everyone has heard about the terrible devastation that Japan has suffered after the 8.9 Earthquake hit mid day yesterday (Japanese time) and the devastating Tsunami that followed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.
SEGAbits recently contacted Sega of America for any information they may have on the safety of Sega Japan employees, any damage to the Sega buildings etc. Thankfully it seems that so far everyone at Sega Japan seems to be accounted for and there is no word of any damage to Sega buildings. No news is good news in cases like this.
It is also worth noting that Platinum Games has escaped unscathed.
