Sogna rights

Question on Sogna intellectual rights.
Who bought the rights to their stuff?  If anyone(s).

Thanks ahead of time.  And, sorry if I post in the wrong area.  The paragraph said any question.  So, hope I did not misread it.

Sleepy_we:
I think who ever owns/ed sognas rights still has them, as they have put up nearly all their games on popular legit DL sites.

Hyperguy:
If anyone has 'em it's probably Power Warrior.  I know that's a silly name, but that's how he's credited.  He wears a mexican wrestling mask too so that other Japanese people don't recognize him.

I wish I was making this up, but could you imagine how much attention you'd get if you were famous in Japan, as small of an archipelago as it is?  Satoshi Urushihara especially prohibits cameras and even sketch pads from his appearances to discourage stalking.

So yeah, Power Warrior's one of the more prevalent members of Sogna, and uses an alias and mask to protect his privacy.  Since he's credited with writing many of the Viper game's storylines I'd imagine he has a percentage of the company at least and copyrights at least.

Moge:
So where did all the staff members of Sogna vacate to?  In semblance Erogos is the closest to a modernization of the company.

有限会社

サイレンス (ゲーム会社)
 -> does not have an English equivalent.

So, maybe Yugen Kaisha?
