I'm still not fond of them. I mean, EA Play is a subscription service to play their games isn't it?

I believe so? I haven't touch EA games again since they shut down Bookworm Heroes.

And the Command & Conquer series, one of it's most popular franchises, has been reduced to mobile rubbish.

Because mobile and its micro transactions are where the money at.

This is exactly why it would be risky for Sega to consider removing Sonic Adventure games from the Steam store.

I don't play "Sonic Adventure" that often, but look what I can make of it whenever I'm in the Christmas mood:

Yes, but remember that Sonic 1, 2, and 3&Knuckles also had a lot of mods (much ,uch more compared to SA1/2) and SEGA didn't hesitant to delist them.

Even with playing Sonic Adventure 2 quite a few times, the trailers haven't spoiled too much for me to keep me guessing what will happen. Especially given how the movies are a loose adaption to the games. For example, Gerald being alive!

That's true but pretty sure Maria is still gonna die.

I suppose introducing "Death" in the MCU would've been a confusing concept without proper explanation why in the films.
If I recall, Thanos isn't the only pet of Death herself but also Deadpool as well.

That was a very very long time ago, Thanos is already moving on and has many other stories where he got a new love interest (Hela)





even in charge of the Eternals



and clashing with Thor and the Asgardians over their dark history.



Also actually Death is now already on MCU.
She debuted in Agatha All Along.

True, but I figured given it's Roblox, there's enough gray areas to get away with it. Just as there's loads of other Sonic games on Roblox not licenced by Sega.

Yeah, but they are from fans, not from respectable established developer company.
We gotta be careful once we're a company.

Oh for sure, if I were to direct "Sega Superstars VR" I would have:

• A compilation of games, just as the original Sega Superstars game had, but for virtual reality gameplay.
• A "3-D Glasses" feature, where you can play 3-D master System games via your VR headset.
• Tech Demos of existing Sega games to serve as "proof of concept", Rise of Nightmares being one of them.

Hopefully it could happen, even if it's from third party companies.
SEGA didn't even bother to bring 3-D master System games on 3DS to the west back then.
They were Japanese exclusives and region locked.
I have to buy another 3DS (JP region) just to play them.

Probably. Still somehow Shinobi costume was absent from Super Monkey Ball skins where almost other franchises as popular as Shinobi got them.
There are ninja costumes but not tied to Shinobi franchise. (again, missed opportunity or may be there's a reason unknown)
 






Wish it's that simple to use another SEGA franchise to crossover with but SEGA Legal Team isn't easy to deal with.
At least that's what someone who worked in SEGA Heroes before said.
Still not as hard as Nintendo Legal Team.

True, but I figured given it's Roblox, there's enough gray areas to get away with it. Just as there's loads of other Sonic games on Roblox not licenced by Sega.

Super unlikely from SEGA but still's likely from third parties.
Space Channel 5 VR Kinda Funky News Flash! and Cosmic Smash sequel came to VR was thanks to the third party companies afterall.

Oh for sure, if I were to direct "Sega Superstars VR" I would have:

• A compilation of games, just as the original Sega Superstars game had, but for virtual reality gameplay.

Yes, but that's from Sonic Team, not SEGA.
Or may be it's just a sweet talk, since they're not saying it from nowhere.
They're just answering a question from fan (in Official Sonic Fan Meet) whether remake of SA1, SA2, and o6 are considered or not.
The media somehow made it a headline without giving it a full context.

Ah I see, the media made it sound big when really it's just talk amongst them.

Yeah, but remember, EA generated net revenue of 7.56 billion U.S. dollars in its 2024 fiscal year.
So in terms of money, as a company they know what they're doing, anything we wrote won't matter.

I'm still not fond of them. I mean, EA Play is a subscription service to play their games isn't it?
And the Command & Conquer series, one of it's most popular franchises, has been reduced to mobile rubbish.

May be they're preparing a new collection but who knows.

All we can do is hope. But with no certainty they could just be leaving us dry for all we know.
