The gloating thread...

[Sharky]

Because I'm sick of hearing how shit Sega is doing compared to everyone else...
Here we gloat when other companies hit hard times.

Such as


Namco Bandai losses are above $300 million

Namco Bandai in trouble... Can't say I have baught a Namco game in some time though... The last one might have even been Soul Calibur 2.

Sega is in all top 10 developer/publisher lists. The games sell like crazy and the company makes profit. Who cares about what haters say? "If they hate then let them hate and watch the money pile up".

And Namco is a piece of shit. Their games suck. Tekken sucks. Their oldschool compilations are overpriced. No wonder they are losing money.
They should just make a new Xevious game with juicy graphics and shit.

I've noticed people saying 'Baught' a lot, it's actually 'Bought'. Please make a note of it.

Also I generally don't like to see any video game company in financial trouble.

Namco has not really made anything generally all that good or interesting for quite some time, but I would not want them to die off or anything. I would really love it if they fixed up Soul Calibur too.

They are planning on taking a lot of risks with Natal and Move, so I am not sure if they will be making much money back anytime soon.

And where the fuck is a new Ridge Racer?

actually Ryan is just pretty bad at spelling.

Me neither, at the end of the day it is people that are hard working losing their jobs.

Thirded. Guess Namco decided to end Ridge Racer games and move on (even leaving all the classics behind). What happened to the Ridge Racer 8 (or Ridge Racer HD) idea  :| ?

Not a "hitting hard times" story, but still makes me want to laugh at them:

Nintendo is releasing an instructional DVD with Mario Galaxy 2. Stupid Nintendo! Wii can't play DVDs! Here's an idea: have an in-game tutorial or a pdf manual on your website.

Over 300 million? The company was never "SEGA big", so it probably effects them more than it would SEGA.

It's got nothing to do with 'offending' us, but it's a simple thing that you can correct for your own benefit. I mean, if you are writing something up on the front page, it'll save you time getting it right the first time. It's not like I'm perfect either, I used to spell 'sequels' as 'sequals' all the time until someone corrected me.

I don't get how the misfortunes of other companies would lead me to start gloating, nor do I understand why it should make me feel any better about SEGA.
