Interview: John Gillin (Capcom & Sega Director of Marketing)
As Director of Marketing at both Capcom and Sega of America, John Gillin had a front row seat for the height of the 16-bit era. He helped launch Street Fighter II on SNES and oversaw several Sega lines, including Sega Sports, and he was present during the turbulent transition to the Saturn.
