His professional career was somewhat unearthy.

That kinda explains why he could turned into cartoon characters, robot, car, space rocket, ghost, zombie, and animals.

Sega Sammy gobbling up another one?

That kinda explains why he could turned into cartoon characters, robot, car, space rocket, ghost, zombie, and animals.

Exactly! He knew the write artists and animators for his kind of style and brand that made him stand out more. Moonwalker was so memorable, as well as plenty of other music videos he made.

He could've chosen Nintendo or Sony to represent him, but not only did he chose Sega, but he loved them as a brand and style!

Sega Sammy gobbling up another one?

Business as usual, before they also acquire Rovio Entertainment for about $1 billion, right?
One of the result is Sonic Rumble that will be released globally soon.



But unfortunately this whole thing with GAN has nothing to do with video games.
It's more slot machines related.

We all know the reason. It's because he's BAAAAAD!



Unfortunately after he passed away, Michael-related games were kinda downgraded.
From superhero in Moonwalker, space diva in Space Channel 5, and super boxer in Ready 2 Rumble, he then became what?
A mere dancer in The Experience game series.



The new developers really lack of imagination.

I kind of wish I stayed ignorant over the fact Sammy brought out original sega just to save face from their reputation with gambling and gatcha machines in a country where gambling is illegal.

I believe the downgrades were because Micheal Jackson was more compassionate and easy-going when it came to his likeness used in various media. Now that he's dead, his likeness is now a trademarked property of his estate.
