Sega are idiots.

why? the game was gonna flop anyway. this way Sega didnt spend on money on it but got some in return. 

See my reply to badgenome

i agree, sega are a trashy company, but even on xb1, ps360 and ps4. it would still have lost money. IMO, they shouldnt have bothered with bayo 2 at all. 

Sega downsized massively a few years ago as I recall. I'm guessing one of the results was ending their relationship with Platinum Games entirely. 

Sega has not worked with them in 4 years and the only reason they're even involved with Bayo 2 at all is because they hold some of the franchise rights. But pretty sure they cut all actual active ties to Platinum after Vanquish was released four years ago. 

Since then Platinum has moved on to work with Konami, Nintendo, and Microsoft. 

I believe Sega really only works on like 5 IP now -- Sonic, Yakuza, Football Manager, Aliens, Total War.
