It was never the case. Only the rumor mill.
Sega wouldn’t need to acquire developers or studios if they didn’t run off some of the best Japanese programmers in gaming and their history. Miyamoto is still at Nintendo. Yu Suzuki is no longer at Sega. Sega wouldn’t be “Sega” without Suzuki’s decades of successful games he created that put them on the map. Tells you right there.
