Segotari

"Why am I working for this company? That is a question for someone in the personal office. How did I become a department head in my early 20s? That is too beyond my ability to answer. I work here to make the best use of my abilities; that is all that matters"

- Fujiwara Rie, Development Leader at SegAtari

Trivia

 * The name in Cyberpunk 2020 Sourcebooks it's SegAtari, but in Cyberpunk Red and possibly Cyberpunk 2077 it's Segotari. Possibly due to Sega and Atari still being around, this couldn't properly get the rights to the name.
 * The name SegAtari comes from the two gaming developer giants from the 1980s, Sega and Atari. Sega was responsible for many of the arcade cabinets and Atari started the big trend of home console gaming.
 * While Arcades are not common/rare in the USA today, in Japan the Sega Game Centers are still huge, with some buildings being up to six floors.
