Sega makes alot of sense for MS. Game pass would really benefit from the amount of old arcade games that Sega has.
Imagine having Daytona, VF, Sega Rally, Space Harrier, Crazy Taxi, Sonic as well as all the others on Game pass. There would be a ton of them.
The back catalogue is immense.

Is this actually a thing?

Why do I keep seeing this thread on the main page?

You keep seeing it because it's going to be the greatest announcement ever made, and it's happening next Wednesday.

The excitement will likely be high enough to level cities, so it might be a good idea to hide under a sturdy table on Wednesday.

So this thread keeps coming up and still it hasn’t happened, probably because it’s Tuesday. .

So I’m going to take this time to say that if this happens, Microsoft needs to figure out who has the Ferrari license and give them a ton of money to get Outrun onto the Xbox. Even if it’s just Outrun Online from the 360, I’ll take whatever I can get at this point.

 

[the_master]

Oh boy. It is happening!!!!
I can almost feel the tremor

 

[CRAIG667]

It's been changed to Thursday, sorry folks!

 

[PhaseJump]

I hope Microsoft buys Sega on Wednesday, and SNK on Thursday. I mean, why not? Neo Geo was cool.

[Nickolaidas]

So is it this Wednesday?

If MS buy Sega 5 years later on a Wednesday technically OP would still be right lol

 

[HeresJohnny]

I gotta say, if this is true (and that’s a big IF), Microsoft just secured themselves a customer again. Sony’s making BLM themes and Microsoft is doing real business like buying Bethesda and possibly SEGA. As an unashamed fan of Sony, I have to say that it just doesn’t seem like they want to win this time around.

Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi Jokingly Compares PS5 To A Huge Router

You're not the only one thinking Sony's PS5 looks like something you'd be asked to try turning on and off again.

Wait Wednesday, Toshihiro San. The acquisition is not official yet...

 

[THE DUCK]

ITS COMING TOMMOROW! YAY!!!

 

[Lionel Richie]

IT'S ALREADY WEDNESDAY IN JAPAN, ANY MINUTE NOW LADS

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Each Wednesday I realize next Wednesday is actually the Wednesday coming a week from now

 

[the_master]

Maybe it just means "Next wednesday", forever. It would still be true if we take it to infinity and it never happens.

It is like parallel lines, they intersect on infinity.
Microsoft announces the purchase of Sega on a Wednesday in infinity (if not before)

Is tomorrow the day?

Yes.

It’s Wednesday in UK and I’m ready to lose my shit.

I'm starting to lose faith, I think it might be next Wednesday and not tomorrow

I didn't really care before but now it would be so more amazing after 40+ pages of mocking.

Reminds me a bit of that time somebody leaked Mortal Kombat vs DC, getting mocked and then the thread revival after the game was announced a few years later.

This is like the Ross and Rachel of the gaming world. They won't hook up until the last season.

Microsoft is obviously Ross lol

Excellent point.

Sega has so many games/franchises sitting idle, your idea of Game Passing them would bulk up the library. They don't even have to be remade or anything. Even if it's as is, GP could have a classic arcade hits section where it's old ass 80s and 90s games like a MAME section. Other legacy arcade game makers and 16-bit devs can add to it too.

Game Pass Retro.

Right now, GP is indie and full budget games, but I think zero classic arcade games. The closest thing they have is I think those Pacman indie games.

 

[Porcile]

I don't really see what Microsoft would do with Sega's back catalogue that Sega would'nt already doing if it was viable. Sega Saturn is so niche.
