Here's what Yakumo posted at AssemblerGames.com:

It's bull, Sega Japan has nothing to do with this and here's the plain and obvious reasons why.

1. The site is all in English ! (biggest and so obvious that you shouldn't need another reason).

2. Adds. Sega Japan NEVER use adds for anything apart from in house teams or Japanese affiliates. Never in their life would a big company like Sega want Play Asia or Google adds.

3. The mail addresses are very odd. Sega don't use these. I know because I get many official mails from Sega Japan.

4. Sega Direct links are pointless because it closes this month.

I think this is just a way to get peoples mail addressees for spam

Damn, but I can't understand. Isn't the site owned by Sega Japan?

Yes, however someone could have compromised the site and inserted their application without SEGA ever having known. I do feel that this isn't legitimate and strongly advise everyone to keep an eye on your mail activity and inbox, report any abuse to [email protected].

That's not the problem.

The main problem I see is that there is no info on what this is about. - If it's legitimate, they have to provide more information.

I am aware that it is possible that the website and the service still are under construction but why publish it if it doesn't do anything yet ?

The usuage of Google Apps, the missing Japanese translation (remember it's supposed to be a Japanese site!)... - All this doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever.


Still, we brought their service down in just a few hours; so IF it's legitimate, then they now know how many of us are out there.
