Tecmo澄清Team Ninja成员离职传闻

前不久传闻加工厂1UP曾报道称，有36名Team Ninja小组核心成员追随板垣伴信离开公司并准备联合控告老东家在《死或生4》奖金问题上违约。现在Tecmo官方出面否认了这一说法，并表示1UP的报道是“错误且失实”的，他们感到很生气，而且后果很严重。

Tecmo官方在公开声明中表示，除板垣伴信以外只有两名公司员工就奖金分配问题向公司提起了诉讼（小泽宏昭与角田龙生，二人都是Tecmo社员工会成员），而且公司方面已经开始着手解决这一问题，且正准备对涉及此事的员工予以补偿。

与此同时，由于最近Tecmo所牵扯的一系列诉讼案件，导致了公司员工乃至股东的不安情绪。为此，Tecmo官方今天出面要求媒体在报道上保持谨慎态度，而且不止是日本本土，Tecmo也向海外媒体发表了类似内容的官方声明，只是在部分内容上有所差异而已。

无论如何，媒体的报道自由是不会因为Tecmo的一纸声明而受到制约，这一点无论是在日本本土还是海外都是如此。对Tecmo官方声明感兴趣的玩家可以翻到下一页查看声明原文和PDF。

On and around June 15, 2008, various websites in the US reported a rumor about “dozens” of development staff members resigning and filing a lawsuit against Tecmo, LTD., following Tomonobu Itagaki’s departure from the company. The rumors are false and no such action is taking place at the company.

On June 16, 2008, two employees filed a lawsuit against Tecmo, LTD. with accusations of withholding overtime pay. Although a lawsuit was filed by the two employees, on April 1, 2008, Tecmo, LTD. did notify all affected employees that they would be appropriately compensated and is currently in the process of resolving the matter. There are several inaccurate reports stating that all 300 company employees are named in the lawsuit and the company would like to clarify that only two employees are involved in the suit.

In addition, there were reports that Tecmo, LTD., a publicly traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, withheld information from its shareholders regarding the lawsuit filed in May 2008 by Tomonobu Itagaki. The company has observed the provisions defined by the Exchange and has released information accordingly and in a timely manner.

It is unfortunate that false and inaccurate reporting of our organization and employees’ actions have caused some unrest among our development staff members. Tecmo, LTD. would like to assure its partners and loyal fans that its teams continue to focus and work on several projects to be released and announced in the future. The company is committed to providing high quality, entertaining products for our fans around the world.

Your continued support of Tecmo, LTD. is appreciated and it is kindly asked that you handle news reports concerning the above matters with care.
