Sickening............. a TRUE gaming company struggling like this, those of you who had the opportunity to support SEGA back in the day, but went with corporations who at the time didn't give a shit about games should be ashamed of yourselves. (you KNOW which corporation i am referring to)


Sega's current situation is completely of their own doing. Sega created some of the best games in world. They had the debatably the best development teams and had the most versastile development teams. At one point in time Sega made some of the best games in every genre. That said as talented as their developers were, their coporate leaders was just as incompetent. If Sega had even average business leaders running the show, they'd still be developing games on their own console hardware.


Sure......... and "that" corporations advertising & financial muscle played no part whatsoever in SEGA's demise did it? tut tut tut.

Yes it was all Sony's fault. They secretly infiltrated the company before they even had a hardware platform and through undue influence caused Sega to make one boneheaded decision after another. They were responsible for the abject failure of the Mega Drive in Japan. They were the reason that it finished a distant third behind Nintendo and NEC. They forced Sega to release add ons like the Sega CD and 32X . Add ons that lowered consumer and retailer confidence in Sega's brand in North America.  They forced Sega to fight a patent infringement claim that cost Sega 43 million dollars when the patent holder only asked for 7 million dollar licensing fee. A fee that all other platform makes (Nintendo, Atari, 3DO company, etc.) paid. They made Sega launch the Saturn early in the North  America so that they'd anger retailers and third party developers. Also this secret Sony shadow board of directors forced Sega to kill the Saturn early in Japan. Eventhough both retailers and third parties asked them not to because of it was a strong second place in the region. It was this grand Emperor Palpatine like plan that lead to the Dreamcast launching with Sega 2 billion in debt along with 3rd parties, retailers, and consumers  all either angry or unconfident in the platforms chances of success.


I have been over this many times.............. EVERY company makes a few bad decisioins, however, SEGA did not have BILLIONS of dollars at their disposal to cover up their mistakes like certain "corporations" do.

No "that corporation"= more people buy a Saturn and mistakes are overlooked.

For you to suggest that it's purely SEGA's fault is just pure wrong.

It's even more angering for me because "thats corporations" execs even stated that they look down upon gaming before "that corporation" joined the gaming business.

"that corporation" are a bunch of god damn chancers............ end of.


9/10. Hilarious post.
