Is the gaming industry truly honoring its legends, or are we merely paying lip service? The recent passing of Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the visionary behind Double Dragon, sparks a vital question: how often are we acknowledging those who've shaped our gaming experiences? At just 64, Kishimoto's influence on the beat-em-up genre is undeniable, but are these tributes enough? Personally, I remember the countless hours spent playing Double Dragon with friends, but did I ever stop to think about the man behind the game? As we mourn his loss, let’s also consider how we celebrate the creators who make our favorite games possible. Are we doing them justice? Let’s not wait for obituaries to appreciate the minds that mold our entertainment. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/double-dragon-creator-yoshihisa-kishimoto-has-died-at-age-64 #GameDev #RememberTheCreators #YoshihisaKishimoto #GamingCommunity #DoubleDragon
