Koei's chief executive resigns... maybe this is why.

Our reasoning behind Kiyoshi Komatsu's resignation is pretty simple: he was tired of doing the same thing over and over and over and over, but the rest of Koei disagreed. They alienated him at work, egged his car, stole his milk money and whatever else people can do to be good old-fashioned jerks. So, he decided he couldn't take it anymore and said he was resigning because of "personal reasons". Sound about right?Replacing Komatsu is Kenji Matsubara, a man who joined the company in 2001. While his expertise has mainly been concentrated in online content as well as mobile phone titles, he's excited enough to take over and lead Koei on the path to ultimate glory.
What I found interesting was that Koei was established in 1978. That's a long time ago! Especially to sit around and work on the same period in Chinese history. But, we'll soon see how they handle the Hundred Years War.
