This is really a sad day for gaming. Iwata was one of the only higher-ups of a gaming company who actually understood gaming, and the development process. He was raised as a gamer himself, and became a designer and worked his way all the way up to CEO. He didn't come from a business background. No, he came from a gaming background. He knew gaming, coding, and design better than anyone. That's why he was so special. I think we have truly lost a unique individual in the gaming world today. Do you think the CEO of EA went to anything but business school? I doubt it.

yes he was a gaming industry legend, too bad we lost him.

I really hope that the guy who replaces him will have the same brilliance and will lead the company towards a great future.
