Really nice to read the comments on the PC-FX article, people appreciated the work that went into researching the topic. The last two parts of Hudson's story are where it gets tricky regarding the effects of Takugin's collapse on Hudson, although it's plain to see in their 1998-2001 games releases.

SAM ALTMAN: What no one understands is that no one at the beach can stop you from scooping up as many shells as you want. An endless well of seashells for the taking.

INTERVIEWER: Mhm.

ALTMAN: Look I have a bunch in my pocket right here.

INTERVIEWER: Wow that's incredible. And they're all already crushed up too.

ALTMAN: You can eat them. I eat them everyday. That's why I crush them. Here have a taste.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."
