he kind of has a point. in the 80s and 90s, Sega dominated arcades.

What? Most indie devs seem to report higher sales but lower revuene on PC because so many are obsessed with steam sales. That didn't sound reasonable at alli would just put it on steam. seriously. put a high-profile dd game on xbla and psn and the most people will pay is $20, maybe $30 tops. do the same for steam and you can probably hit $30 to $40 at launch and it wouldn't be considered an outrage.
i agree on the other points, but i don't think sega japan's teams have much drive anymore.

Sega does what Nintendon't.
I'm sorry to hear this but at the same time hope this means we get more PC ports like Valkyrie Chronicles.
Would love to see Bayonetta and Yakuza on PC.
Sad that Sega could never turn it around. I guess we'll get more PC ports, at least.
The SEGA of old was officially dead a decade ago to me.
No further info atm.UPDATE: "Limited" redundancies at Sega of Europe.
But this doesn't effect Atlus because it's not Sega Sammy's decision? Right?

i don't get why europe got so much say though. yeah they sold a lot of mega drives, but they were a big fucking nothing with the saturn like soa was, and soa managed to really turn around the image of the company with the dreamcast kind of on their own.

Thank you! As long as Atlus stays unaffected emotions stay in the realm of happiness!This involves Sega Sammy. That's not why this doesn't affect Atlus, though. The situation isn't how everyone going "RIP" makes it seem, and, seemingly, this doesn't even immediately affect their current output from Japan.
End times?The end times at SEGA have begun.
Nintendo should buy the rights to console Sonic games.

Nintendo really did kill them in the end...
I will remain hopeful, but maybe Atlus has a chance of jumping ship to another company or Sega sells them off or something if things suddenly get dire.I agree, but Sega as an entity shrinking so much is not good at all, even for the Japanese branch and our current interest, Atlus.
hurray 300 people are now unemployed!Thank you! As long as Atlus stays unaffected emotions stay in the realm of happiness!
the sega japan/america schism was at least underway during the saturn era, if not earlier (naka really didn't care for sonic team usa). sucks that sega japan in particular is so shitty when it was america and europe that really led the charge for the company's growth in the 90s.

Bad business decisions, well above my pay grade. Money over quality was the general attitude there, and we missed out on some great opportunities.
One of the most ridiculous things i see on this forum.hurray 300 people are now unemployed!
it's hard to understand how a company with that many of successful IPs can mismanage so hard that it's barely working these days.
it is more ridiculous to be sad about this than happyOne of the most ridiculous things i see on this forum.
Businesses close and people lose their jobs. It happens. We're not on the forum of universal sympathy for all misfortune, we're on fucking gaming side talking about videogames.
I hope you hit Off Topic after every new movie releases to remind everyone that the majority of the crew now needs to find a new project or their families will eventually starve.
What a downfall. This is more depressing than when they went third party.
What does this mean for Sonic stuff?
