That's because sega-net was an optional service, which was basically paid dialup that linked you directly to Sega's online servers, to reduce the latency. |
Ah, I see. Thanks for that.
Well to be fair to Sega, they did offer it as an optional service; for the more dedicated of online gamers. Its not like it was (and still is) a mandatory service to play online, like Xbox Live.
They did sort-of set the ball rolling though. MS just gave it the extra push.
