The reality is that Nagoshi-san was a Sega lifer and can be sold whatever dream by a publisher/investor, because he does not have the sense of what is real and what to believe. After being 30 years outside the talent and publisher market in one company, he clearly is out of touch of the market realities. This will not end well, and if it does, it will be a miracle.

If he pulls it off and gets a good game done from scratch without the infra nor talent and the Netease Execs won't push him to deliver sooner a worse title to recoup their investment, then hats off to him. The evidence shows though, that this is a failed transition. Hopefully I'm proven wrong!
