i wouldn't mind if sega just stopped existing!
Which mod's joke character is this?

Publishers generally own the IPs to the games they publish, because they're generally the financiers of their development. But you probably already knew that.
Great contribution to the discussion.i wouldn't mind if sega just stopped existing!
Man you are on a roll today.i wouldn't mind if sega just stopped existing!
Is VF done?
Man you are on a roll today.
I'm sad about VC3. We may never get that game now.
Fuck, the industry is collapsing isn't it.
The main character could be an over-sexualised version of amy rose.

Don't console launches have the reputation for killing companies? For every new IP it can spawn, you have a company that isn't in the healthiest condition unable to profit from the transitioning customer base.It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Just hop on over and see what publishers want out of next gen.
Midway went backrupt.
Atari is barely, but barely hanging in there.
THQ is bleeding pretty badly.
Capcom is milking Street Fighter and Resident Evil to the nth degree.
SquareEnix and Namco Bandai are struggling.
SEGA downsizing to keep it itself afloat.
Electronic Arts, Take Two and Activision are the only "safe" 3rd Party companies out here right now.

Valve, Bethesda, Namco, Ubisoft, Atlus, Konami all say hello.
Konami most certainly aren't doing all that great. The only IP they have left that still has some pull on home consoles is MGS.
Konami
I hope not. Barely bothering with QA is what got us Shadow and 2K6. I sincerely hope Sega doesn't seriously want to go back to that.The whole QA department has been shut down?
They're actually doing fine, financially. I'm aware that they don't have "ecred" right now, but their house is in order.

LOL! Maybe from a financial standpoint, but they're killing all their franchises.

Then why didn't they hire someone competent to do the SH collection, and give Vatra a decent budget for Downpour *cries* KONAAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
One might actually argue that Konami has been able to turn a profit specifically because they've moved their focus away from these types of games and towards mobile platforms, casino game machines, and fitness technologies to go with their gyms.
Cheap outsourcing is a consequence of their focus being elsewhere.
They appear to be profitable, have a fairly diverse portfolio of console, mobile, and casino gaming machines, and aren't launching a constant stream of high budget low sales properties.
Not sure here they are lol-worthy.
Sadly, I think SEGA will die like medium size publisher in about a year.
obsidian is almost dead, man. :/
If Final Showdown doesn't do well, then yes. That's what the U.S. producer, Frank, told me and some of VFDC members at Final Round this year.
I guess Binary Domain and Yakuza are probably safe now that Nagoshi is a big honcho?
Platinum doesnt need Sega. I dont know why Sega doesnt just close its doors already. people would care for about 1 week.
Sega currently has a war with me on their forums. They have an issue with me because I represent an agenda in favor of their best economic interests, but because my take is extreme and counter conventional gaming assumptions that rub most gamers the wrong way they have declared me a problem poster on their forums. This failure totally vindicates my view and their desperate need to alter their approach.
so basically you want sega to die faster
They have $2 billion in cash, only $720 million in debt, and only lost $96 million this year, most of which was a writedown.
Yakuza is life. Kickstarter this shit, Sega.
Good. Sega deserves this for not making a proper Phantasy Star sequel. You know, something that isn't that online abomination.
