Unluckiest company ever.

They do good things all the time (as a publisher anyways) and just lose over and over.

Nah, he's still somewhat popular.

It will, for example, prevent Shenmue III from ever being made.

Hey, you ever coming back?
You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard.

Sega should just join Nintendo

place Sonic as an official member of the Mario franchise

No really Sega could benefit so much by being with Nintendo.

This sucks. I hope they at least sell off their recent IPs so Platinum Games can continue doing what they do :(

I read "Sega Shining Force" and got excited and clicked and am dissapointed now

Circle gets the Scare!
Imagine if Jesus knew kung fu. That's what everyone is dealing with

So some game called "Kingdom Quest" beat Sonic Generations in sales by almost twofold. D:

In any case, this is unfortunate. This gen has been hard on everyone. Hopefully the Wii U gives Japanese developers a good central platform to work with and focus on.

totally imported the Generations collectors edition just so I could have that Sonic statue

Sega take all my money
