Japan relief fund

Company's CEO pledges to donate $100 for every 100 "likes" on Facebook.

The United States and Japan have accomplished great things together.  The videogame industry in particular owes much of its success to the partnership of our two countries.  Our work at Mastiff would not be the same without our Japanese employees, partners, and supporters.

I have loved Japan since before my first visit there in 1977.  My wife, and my second language, are Japanese. I have spent more than 12 years of my life in that great country.  I owe my career to the Japanese games industry, which gave me my first job out of college, working in product design for Koei (now called Tecmo Koei Games), located outside Tokyo in Yokohama. The Japanese industry continued to support me during a ten year stint as Managing Director at Activision Japan, a subsidiary of US game publisher Activision.

I hope that you will join Mastiff and me personally in helping Japan's recovery.   In addition to the funds that Mastiff and I are personally contributing already,   Mastiff pledges that for every 100 people who like us on Facebook between now and the end of April, Mastiff will donate $100 to the Red Cross for Japan relief, up to $25,000.

Most Sincerely,

Bill Swartz
