So, this is happening.


You know, SEGA has done some stupid things, but I wonder what made them think that publishing a developer well known by Nintendo's fans game on every console but Wii U was a good idea...?

It pretty much isn't a good idea. SEGA's general audience is mainly on Nintendo consoles. They might just be hurting themselves.

And then SEGA would be involved in the making of every pokemon game.

But in all serious, I doubt it. They just said they fired a huge chunk of their workers. They are obviously in no financial success to buy anyone out.

at least there's steam which might = linux....

But seriously, I actually didn't cared much about sega but.....why the heck it would make sense?

Cause for some reasons, I have the feel sega is falling as rare already fell (though, rare was way more brutal).

SEGA is about to crash and burn if they don't do something soon and their current "business plan" of focusing on everything but consoles is not going to help them at all.

Well that's easy. What they need to is make decent games (and not Sonic Boom). And you can do with any medium really. Even PC and Mobile.

And it's also worth saying that they are making a game with Game Freak which will be on consoles, so they haven't abandoned us yet.

That's not what I meant.
I mean using different consoles.

oh it was THAT much?

....well, this is worse than I thought.

But that's so ironic how they kept bashing nintendo for staying to console.....this happens.

Tbh with you, I'm kinda still impressed they are around the last decade. To me, the industry kinda got some very bad stuff at around mid GC towards its end.

Look, rare, dreamcast getting underrated (honestly, it had so much potential), gc underseeling (and for god sake how much it totally didn't deserve that), microsoft getting involved....so much bad stuff happened at the same time that I'm still impressed sega survived for that long....and nintendo is bound to kepp it up, but let's be honest, the day nintendo is no longer around is to me the end of the industry....that's my interpretation because I would no longer care anyway.

But that's like not bound to happen for decades....so,

I still don't get why people are so riled up over what's been happening with Sega. I mean, if they're still making games, isn't that what matters?
