Sega killing Atlus confirmed.
Pack it up, Persona 5 cancelled, Atlus going F2P mobile games and Persona themed pachinko machines.
I hope Nich and everyone else can find new homes quickly.
If we were to close the forums, it wouldn't be because of the Sega merger. There are other potential reasons!
First: we have awesome fans, and the overwhelming majority of them spend more time on Facebook and Twitter. In this business, it’s adapt or die, so we’re refocusing our efforts on social media.
RIP.
All roads lead men and women forever to NeoGAF.
and you gain basically nothing.
Interesting on the eve of a major announcement, actually removing an avenue of marketing/community-interaction rather than adding one.
Also can't wait for Zodick the Hellhog to join my demon compendium
Atlus shutting down its forum to fully integrate Persona 5 into the Wii U Miiverse community!
lol, what's this from?
I don't think Atlus USA has actually announced any localization plans for these games, yet.
Well aside from Devil Survivor Break Record the other 2 games don't have any announced console release.
Running forums is a mega dumb move for companies. Massive security hole vector, constant source of PR frustrations, requires volunteer moderators who exist in a quasi-staff position, fairly server intensive particularly if old posts are not flushed, and you gain basically nothing.
What's the status on Break Record? Are we still getting it here in the west?
dat sega cost-cutting
p5 to have static 2d battles confirmed
