I'm in denial that Cave is dead, but the Companying is doing ports I guess but. I really really want them to knock on Microsoft door and Microsoft fund their games in the 100 millions to make shmups they are the best at shmups ever.


Also alot of Developers from SEGA makes me cry.
Sega SmileBit (Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Series Sega Gaga)
Sega Team Andromeda (Panzer Dragoon Series)
Sega Hitmaker (Crazy Taxi Series)
Sega AM3 (Virtual On Series, Sega Rally Series)
Sega Overworks(Skies Of Arcadia, House of the Dead)
Sonic Team Kinda(Burning Rangers, Billy Hatcher, Phantasy Star Online 1 on Dreamcast)
Sega Yuji Naka himself(Nights into Dreams under Sonic Team since he left Nights has not been the same ever again)
Sega Nagoshi (he created Yakuza Series , Super Monkey Ball) he was robbed under Sega Nose
Sega Climax Entertainment(Shining Force games)
J force (Dragon Force games)
Sega Ancient (Legend of Oasis)
Sega United Game Artist (Space Channel 5 part 1 and 2)
So many dead Sega developers etc can't name the rest, Current Sega only has Sonic Team for 3D as their super seller in profit
Hatsune Miku barely makes profit
Valykie Chronicles 4 bombed I heard since Different developer and not Sega of old
Panzer Dragoon remakes are trash
House of the dead remakes Trash
Alex Kidd remake Trash
Shenmue 3 bombed
Virtua Fighter series cant make a 6 one because most developers left
So much inflicted self destruction in Sega , Sega needs Microsoft they are down bad and Microsoft can fund their super games do the best they can all out noone can save Sega not even Sega themselfs Their arcades business dieing long time. Only one that has the money to breath air into this 3 billion dollar company is Microsoft .

I honestly think Microsoft should've bought Sega after they discontinued the Dreamcast and Sega went on to provide a ton of support to Xbox. Some of my favorite original Xbox exclusives were from Sega. Such as Jet Set Radio Future, hence my profile picture

Konami.. RIP 2015.

That one hurts deep

Silent Hills cancellation and Kojima's departure in the same year.. Death-knell of Konami as we knew it :(

So sad, they were one of my top devs/publishers.

Not all are out of business  but none of these make games anymore and it sucks. Some of these are either gone from mergers or went out but regardless. They are missed.
