Tecmo has issued a pair of press releases discounting certain "foreign media" reports, which allege that dozens of Team Ninja developers are leaving in the wake of Itagaki's resignation and that a lawsuit has been filed against the company on behalf of all employees. Tecmo called the rumors of a mass exodus "groundless" and claimed details about the lawsuit are "inaccurate." Tecmo pleaded with the media to be "fair" about the developing reports, as its employees have grown noticeably anxious.
