Because semmie for the upteenth time, Sega LOST more money then they were bringing in. BAYONETTA happened nearly three years ago now. Their consumer division hasn't been as succesful as a whole since then. The last one they lost too much that they can no longer sustain the operation as its currently/was in. How can you be greedy when you got no frigging money? Remember when that happened when they were losing money more than they were bringing in and they changed their entire buisnes model? Yes it was called the end of the DreamCast. Now were possibly seeing the end of Sega as a package format company. But rereleases has nothing to do with them being succesful or failing as a company, the DC didn't have that many rereleases, and the rereleases now as was pointed out to you are games spread over two generations of game systems. Now they are going digital and mobile phones. If you'd been around since 2001 then you'd se all that but dont over exaggerate about the rereleases when it is a minor thing and still is.
RoJM my fellow sega main man.
it depends on what you describe as a negative. i think its negative to keep talking about the losses. as all those gamemakers nowadays make huge losses. and sega now as big gamemakers organisation ofcourse losses money as well.
but there is no denial that it makes more mobney then losses. otherwise the base can not be sustained.
sega makes mixed up mistakes. and there is no doubt about it.
so let us talk about the main diseases in the company
1. there are many leechers in the sega company. in a normal enterprise the pyramid has only one leader.
we all know the free masonic pyramid.(so visualise) sega has a great issue that her company has more leaders then antworkers. because of this there is contradiction in opinions in the midst.( we all know there is only one god. the trinity is a lie cause god does not need jesus as a god or as a son) this is also in the companys they all have their own intentional agenda. and unfortunately the big chiefs cant really be fired unless the greatest does so.
as a result of wrong management the workers get fired so that the leeching progress can be compensated.
2. sega is too carfull. i mean litteraly in combination with the leeching process of the big chiefs up high there is the other disease of being t00000000 carefull. they are s affraid of making games that most of the time they spectate so long that the game runs away to another company.
take fighting force for example. that game was originally streets of rage 3d.( i have the prototype on the saturn) this game was so long on the shelves that the mofos decided to give the game to psx. and even tho the game may have changed the name into fighting force it sold damn well.(keep fighting force 2 aside pls thats another discussion)
so sega is from now very carefull of even being inovative and suffers the disease to copycat sometimes. not always . but it happens more then before.
3. which refers to number 1. as a result of the intense leeching of the judas amidst the great company sega. the cancer amongst the truthful ones. the re releases found their base on every console handheld and phones. it was soon known that those re releases are a great profitable merch.which is not wrong at all. but the great threath in this that sega does this to much. you wont see super mario bros 1 on any psn or xboxlive etc. and sega allready blurred the original games into some kind of standard that is not that appreciated anymore. ofcourse this also refers to number 2 of being to carefull.
4. and at last lets get to a positive but unfortunately a sad and negative end in my debate or reply to you my fellow sega member.
sega does make good games
sega is inovative
i love sega.
in the past and now
but the cruel treatment to the most forgiving fan base in the whole world we are being neglected. the fan base is more then 7 million. sega knows well that she could make new games and console for us. yet it doesnt. dc sold more then 7 million units. and it could grow larger by day with the new generation coming soon. yet it sells of bayonetta. we could easily wait one more year for that game t come. people waited for devil may cry 4 for so long. great games great past great sales anyway.
we also see that with re releases as much as i hate this disease. sega knew why she did it. cause the games were great. focus on WERE.
the future can be bright. after saying all this i stay optimistic. i hope sega does it again.
from casino slots rosen enterprises to a real commercial sms console.
they got guts back then. bring it back
