Because once you started to do that, you never go back. It's too late too change that.
Why not? Why can't they just stop? Yes, it will be a jolt to the customers, but they'll adapt.

Oh, that's a nice theory. Suit well with the title too.
yeah! It could work.

To me, if they can make the game for a kids cam console I rarely heard of, why can't they give it a PC release?

It's also to counteract the "Wait for Definitive Edition" behavior from SEGA and Atlus fans.
SEGA have acknowledged that their fans often delay day-one purchases because they anticipate expanded re-releases (such as Plus version, Royal version, Complete Edition, Year One/Two Edition, or Definitive Edition). Frequent sales help recapture those hesitant buyers.

Because Nex version's a downgrade version of it (in term of contents, not graphic).
The game wouldn't get updates or new characters like mobile version, they're fixed.
Besides, PC players always expect complex controls, rich heads-up displays (HUDs), and deep customizability rather than simplified interfaces like this. Rival Rush is just Sonic Forces Mobile with kinect-like control, very simple interface.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds Arcade DX for Arcade Announced







Quote
With this, Sega are now presenting the game in a vertical screen format. This appears to be an 85″ screen set on its side; from the render, I feel the control base is a little too close, but that could see some adjusting in the production model. That format has been all the rage with arcade racers of late, from Storm Racer 2 to Asphalt 9 Legends Arcade DX Plus and more; a vertical version of the game was in fact promoted by Sega recently (which funnily enough had one or two people wondering out loud whether an arcade release was imminent…).

Also in-keeping with those, the cabinet uses a motion base, but where it differs slightly is its specialized yoke-like steering wheel, which is likely there to accommodate the flying sections of the game’s races. Some arcade racers have done something similar to this in years gone by; Sega’s own F-Zero AX had a controller reminiscent of it back in ...

So fans don't purchase straight away because they expect expansions to the game sooner or later, if not never, or buy during discount which means they won't spend at full price. So Sega are just screwed?"

It's not all that bad. There are always advantages and disadvantages for every strategy.
Did you ever buy the game just because they're on sale?
You did not really want to play it but you gave it a go since the price is cheap and turn out you love it?
And then you're curious to the whole franchise and buy other games too?
Many new SEGA fans were born like this, especially Yakuza and Persona.
Having sale was like a marketing for game franchises too.

Not all games. Sonic Rumble Party got a PC release.

I'm talking about SEGA HARDlight, who's in charge in Sonic Forces, both mobile and this Nex version.
Sonic Rumble was developed by three studios : Sonic Team, Sega 4th Development Division, and Rovio Entertainment, just to give context how hard it is having both mobile and PC version's running together with those continuous updates.

Limited Run Games: Sonic x Shadow Generations Collector’s Edition statues finally set to leave factory soon



Quote
Limited Run Games just haven’t been having much luck with those Sonic x Shadow Generations statues that were meant to come with the pricey Sonic x Shadow Generations Collector’s Edition which went live in 2024. The original batch of statues that came with the Collector’s Edition were simply not up to par and they were recalled and new designs were worked on. Today, Limited Run Games gave an update to say that they should be leaving the factory next month in November domestically and internationally in December. So they are on ...

This GTA 5 and Sonic The Hedgehog 'crossover merger' is an affront to gaming I'll never recover from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWqBWs9Jjj4

Quote
Like many, I’ve been trying my best to pay them no notice aside from Minecraft’s Steve stopping the train in Grand Theft Auto V.
However, I’ve been unsuccessful in ignoring characters from Sonic the Hedgehog being ported into GTA V.
X user BennettWaisbren is responsible for this messy mash-up, and it sees Sonic, Tails and Knuckles from Sonic Adventure plonked into GTA V via Claude Opus 5.5.
By feeding it the necessary code, Claude can merge two or more games into one, and it’s kicked off what some, like BennettWaisbren, are calling “the golden age of modding.”
It’d be a compelling argument if you couldn’t do this without AI; because you can. GTA V in particular has been the home to loads of unique and human-made mods, including making Sonic the Hedgehog a playable character.
The difference is the actual mod changes your character’s skin whilst giving you a speed boost, whereas Claude’s take simply jams a Sonic from a different game in ...
