The weak arm becomes the weak finger: 300 Jobs cut at Sega America

TheRenaissance is an alt of a known Liar and Hoax perpetrator.

He's used the orbi trademarks to justify new Sega consoles for the past 6 years under the names of Zach Morris, SegaOrbi, MrSega ect...Looks like he's back again with change tactics.

Oh...lol!

[JRcade19]

Oh...lol!

Yea, a pretty big determined troll. He was the one behind the whole ringedge console in 2009 and kept pushing Orbi to be a new console until it was revealed to be a zoo lol.

Now he's on about Sega apparently having the financial power to screw and buy Sammy lol.

Is Zack Morris still releasing Dreamcast 2?

[MadeManG74]

I don't believe that rumour. Although I could see Virtua Fighter 6 being announced then or later this year.

Agreed, I'm hoping it's revealed at the next AOU.

Sega will be there with a bunch of other games at least:

Knowing Sega, the game will more likely be announced in Famitsu or Aracadia instead of at a show though.

Totes.

Outfit with the PowerVR Virtual Reality Ray tracing GPU and a Power 9 8 Core 32 thread CPU for $399

People at Neogaf saying that Sega's Arcade side is dead should take a look at this page....:/

Also their business summary still has Arcades first:

Business Summary Development, Production and Sales of
Amusement Machine
Development and Sales of Game Software

Sega is all but dead. Sammy has totally destroyed and ripped apart the gaming company I grew up with and loved.

Fuck you Sammy

[Trippled]

I'm going to kill myself

[MadeManG74]

I'm going to kill myself

Oh no you don't! If we have to put up Sega turning into a mobile phone game company and Casino owner, you do as well. We're in this for the long run.

Guys relax.  SoA's projects were consistently awful and it's not like they were ever going to bring PSO2 over here anyway.

Please Understand

Yeah, also no where in the statement does it say 'no retail games' but 'push to digital' which they already did. Honestly, do you think SEGA would say no retail games and announce a retail game like 12 hours before this announcement?

If anything, I hope this means SEGA's big teams in Japan handle some western output. AM2 alien game, here we come.
All I see is that the SOA business side is being slimmed down and that sucks. I talked to a bunch of great people in SOA and it is going to suck that they are gone but the higher ups at SEGA of America where idiotic. How many times can a division shit the bed due to bad management?

[Draikin]

 Sad news. It doesn't seem like anyone at Sega of America really knows whether or not they'll be able to stay. The relocation would probably require people to move if they want to keep their job.

[George]

Looks like some of the people are being asked to relocate. Honestly with the mass firings at SEGA America over the years and the obvious mismanagement from the top, I would just go to another company for work. Why relocate your life if there are plenty of other jobs in San Francisco.
