It's likely. PSCrew wants to make sure NGS is on it's feet.

And turned out not just PSO2 Team...
But also Idola Team too.
All resources went full to NGS now.

"Idola Phantasy Star Saga JP" will be terminated on January 12, 2022 (Wednesday) at 12:00.
Only JP version, Global version (by Boltrend) will still continue

"We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the members of the "Idola Phantasy Star Saga" management team for their support.

1. October 31, 2021 (Sun) 12:00 Stop new purchase of all "Star Diamonds"
2. January 12, 2022 (Wednesday) 12:00 Service end
3. January 12, 2022 (Wednesday) 17:00 Refund acceptance starts (planned)"

At least they finished the story (unlike Sakura Kakumei and SEGA Heroes).
And the twist in the story is really amazing, I'm gonna miss a story like this.

SEGA and Microsoft Announces Collaboration for New Strategic Titles, “Azure” Cloud Development, and Next-Generation Development Environment



Quote
Azure is a cloud service produced by Microsoft designed with storing data, machine learning with artificial intelligence, and virtual machines in mind.
Remember, this isn’t an acquisition of SEGA from Microsoft, this is simply a collaboration to push SEGA’s long term strategy of trying to tackle a global market.
What are your thoughts about this announcement about SEGA and Microsoft working together for cloud gaming?

Blue is my favorite color.
And SEGA's favorite color too I guess, since they use it for their logo.

I can't really be bothered with t5hese seasonal events given they're mostly copy-paste of one another.

Miku's Colourful Stage beats New Genesis in F2P section eventhough it's just a mobile game.
That shows how NGS has lost its charm these past few weeks. (also banning lot of accounts didn't help either).

Oh dear. Well New Genesis feels like it needs a lot more work. When they announced it they hyped up the fact we'll finally get to explore an open-world area but they concealed the fact the open-world area was just a very large sandbox with only a few places to explore.

I mean, what kind of MMORPG only has the one settlement? (and no, I'm not counting the starting village that they blew up.)

They kinda realized that they messed up.
That's why they asked for our feedback :
