Is Tototek creator dead? (no)

I wonder who started that rumor. I'd be suspicious of it. Then again, I don't talk to Tomy at all so perhaps it came from actually a reliable source.

 

Any news on their forums??

 

There's nothing on his site about him being dead or on his forum.

 

Didnt Tomy make the new MORTAL KOMBAT from the sega genesis a year & half ago?

 

Kind of off topic, but in answer to your question I think it was another member to who made the hack.

Back on topic, I don't know who would be updating the site if Tomy died. I'm not even sure how the rumor started. Bare in mind, Chinese new year is coming up so if people are just saying he died since he stopped replying to people, it might just be he's really busy (like most Chinese people are during this part of the year).

 

I saw this rumor somewhere before too. I'm fairly certain since then I have seen Tomy post. I would assume the rumors are because of the lack of responses/activity.

 

Someone mentioned this on another forum (can't remember where, hell maybe it was here), and one of the responses was that he was on vacation. Somebody ordered an Everdrive and it hadn't arrived yet, and someone else responded by saying that they had just gotten in a shipment from Tototek.

 

Yep, it was here.

 

Here is the forum post in question, and it was instantly debunked by KRIKzz:

Bah, Tototek sales are full of that. People expecting Tomy to give them each individualized attention, then sounding off when it doesn't happen because he's busy, on vacation (Like a Chinese national holiday), etc. He's a reliable seller so there isn't much to worry about.

UPDATE: As I suspected, Tomy is simply shutting down for the festivities of Chinese new year.

 

rumour was started here
Tomy is alive and feels good, i talked with him few days ago
