Company fields in infobox, aka “employees”
So this and Michael Jackson were tagged with Company Needed. I don’t know if there’s a field like “Collaborated with” or something, which would be more accurate. Basically yes, I know its weird seeing Joe Montana listed as a Sega of America employee, but he was employed by the company. Just not in the regular sense. But again, a separate bob/infobox for people who collaborated with Sega in notable ways, but weren’t like salaried employees, would be nice.
