Hace unas horas se ha anunciado que Satoru Iwata, el hasta ahora presidente de Nintendo, ha fallecido. Desde que se ha sabido esta información, los principales ejecutivos y personalidades de esta industria rinden tributo a Iwata.
A continuación recogemos algunos de ellos, entre los que destaca la cita que recuerda Bungie -"en mi tarjeta de negocios soy un presidente. En mi mente, soy un desarrollador. Pero en mi corazón, soy un jugador"-, el comentario de Zelda Williams -que debe su nombre a la saga de Nintendo- o el de Markus Persson, que dice "no entender" la situación en referencia al conocido please, understand de Iwata.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Iwata.— PlayStation (@PlayStation) julio 13, 2015
