Still seems like a gamble to buy Square Enix right now with them offloading properties and still flirting with NFTs. Even with the info he had.

So THAT'S what happens when you don't make a decent game in two decades, and still expect people to hire you.

He's just trading under the 34th rule governing Sonic Inflation

It's kinda funny a man named Naka(means "inside" in Japanese) arrested over an insider trading

Why does Nancy Pelosi get a free ride on insider trading?

I literally just laughed so hard I cried. I am also literally playing the new Sonic Frontiers game right now, paused to smoke a bowl.

Good question. Why does any politician?

Pfft. Thats nothing compared to what the creator of Sonichu got arrested for.

Google “senators insider trading.” Senators are allowed to insider trade. Yes, it’s the law.

Buy it, make a cell shaded 3D Chrono Trigger sequel. Make a gigantic open world Final Fantasy. Go on a bender and make a Eggs of Steel sequel that makes 5 people happy and get pushed out of control.

Quick Google suggests penalties of up to a ¥5,000,000 fine ($50,000-ish) and/or up to 5 years in jail plus forfeiture of anything gained from the trading. So….yeah.

I had a cursory knowlage of Chris when that happened, and it really wasn't a suprise, but it was kind of "Oh fuck he actually did it".
I've watched some of Genos videos, and now it's like "HOLY FUCK, OF COURSE CHRIS ACTUALLY WENT THERE", there's more red flags than a CCP rally.

What happened?
AmeriToast t1_iwu0c4q wrote
Sounds like a good fit for Sony because they are also pursuing NFTs

Tldr Trolls convinced The Creator of Sonichu to do criminal acts. Let’s just leave it there.
WallabyInTraining t1_iwu4ls9 wrote
That's highly illegal and immoral as well, despicable!
Except if you're a politician, then it's fine, apparently.

This is almost as bad as when yoshi committed tax fraud
Jjex22 t1_iwu5yjl wrote
Not really that bad. It’s sort of a naughty exec crime. We have to have laws against it because otherwise people would be being swindled left right and centre, but yeah, it happens all the time sadly, it’s only usually the non powerful fish that get caught

HD 2d Chrono Trigger sequel for all platforms would be like printing money.
Jampine t1_iwuabsx wrote
Honestly, I disagree about being manipulated into it, despite all the malicious advice Chris was given, and the entire idea guys saga, all of Chris's worst decisions seem to be of their own creation.
They've been manipulated into all sorts of heinous shit, but Chris will somehow always find a way to one up it, usaly to their own detriment.

Look up sonic inflation rule 34 for more information on why he did this and how it relates to inflation
pyrulyto t1_iwufdg3 wrote
if so, he could just escape jail, but should be quick to do a new trade and get a ring before they catch him again empty-handed!

It's really cool isn't it? We don't get enough mascot platforming games. The shrines are a little short, but the open world is awesome and so much fun to navigate. Running around collecting kocos and doing map challenges is a blast.
Filet_O_Tuna t1_iwujpez wrote
Doubtful he was manipulated into his felony. He had been expressing an odd interest in it since the Classic days
xincasinooutx t1_iwumiqr wrote
Whoaaaaa lmfao. I have never heard of Sonichu before and decided to look it up.
What in the fuck did I read. Just the wiki alone is absolutely the most cringeworthy thing I’ve ever seen. Then I watched some video of him doing “voice acting” of the characters.
I honestly can’t believe this exists. What the fuck.
Edit:
My god this wiki knows no depths. It’s like watching a car crash, and the cars flip into the path of an oncoming train. And then a plane falls out of the sky on top of the wreckage, only for an atomic bomb to drop from the sky onto that exact spot.
And all I’m reading is the wiki pages— I haven’t even touched the actual material. This is the worst, greatest thing on the internet.
The twists and turns.. this could be made into the best docuseries of all time. I didn’t even find out what he was arrested for until about 30 minutes of reading. I’m speechless.

I mean it's not a normal headline but it's not mind-blowingly ridiculus. If Sonic was a game about insider trading then sure, but not as it is now

The last decent game he made was in the 90s.
