NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang met in Tokyo with former Sega CEO Shoichiro Irimajiri and game designer Yu Suzuki to thank them for their $5 million investment in NVIDIA back in 1995.
This investment came at a time when NVIDIA was on the brink of bankruptcy after failing to deliver chips ordered by Sega, and is regarded as a pivotal turning point in the company's early fate.
