I'm hoping for at least some browser games.

I don't know who's in charge of SEGA account, SEGA of Japan or America.
If it's Japan, they kinda prioritized console and mobile games more than PC.
But if America, then it's PC so web browser games could still be possible.

Why not Sega of Japan make account content for games and Sega of America make content for the accounts?

This New MSX Demo Of Sega's 'After Burner' Looks Super Impressive



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZvHu3yYBL4

After Burner, in case you're unaware, was originally released in the arcades by Sega in 1987 and was later ported to a variety of machines, including the first wave of MSX computers.
This new version, however, has nothing to do with that official port (which was released by Activision in 1988) and is instead an unofficial reimagining of the game, targeting the more advanced MSXTurboR standard, which was introduced back in 1990.
According to B.P.S's video description, the new version was created using DM-System2 (a development kit for MSX 2/2+/turbo R machines) and takes advantage of an extended version of MSX BASIC. It seems to benefit from a much more colourful and detailed sprite for the ...

Because the accounts are not their priority.
Selling games, building franchises, getting licensing agreement for merchs, colabs, and such are.

So this account thing will not amount to much then if they have NFTs in mind?

So this account thing will not amount to much then if they have NFTs in mind?

I don't know how to value NFTs and I don't even know how SEGA viewed NFTs nowadays.
Back then in 2021 SEGA of Japan began sales of NFT digital content utilizing blockchain technology through collaboration with double jump .tokyo, then in 2023 with OASYX, and then in 2024 with LaboNFT but I don't know how they went in term of sales.







SEGA also had registered a trademark for the term “Sega NFT” in Japan but so far I don't think it has been followed up.
