Pour out a lil liquor: Sega to leave console development;focus on pc/mobile.

[-DMP-]

Sega Sammy Holdings, the parent company that now controls one-time video gaming pioneer Sega, is looking to seriously overhaul its structure and business operations. Statements from the conglomerate have stressed that this is an ongoing process, but one of the first steps seems to be Sega ditching the console video game business to focus on what it considers the areas of biggest growth, mobile and online PC games.
It’s a bittersweet day for the Sega faithful who over the last two decades watched the company’s fortunes take a downturn along with the arcade game market. Perhaps Sega’s new focus will finally help it rebound to the heights of its glory days. For the time being, though, Internet commenters have taken to their keyboards to voice their sorrow over how much they’ll miss its wares (both hard and soft), and also to ponder the hidden nonsensicalness of its new name, Sega Games.

Sega is royally fukked. Just let MS or Sony buy them out and put em out of their misery.

Never owned a Genesis (I was a Nintendo kid), but it's still sad to see Sega go out like this.
The OG Sonic games, Phantasy Star 4, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage

Nintendo or microsoft needs to come in and make this kill.

A sonic game with TLC from a 1st party developer would be amazing.

 

[Heretic]

no more bionic domain. One of my sleeper games from 2012. I loved that game.

Yall need to stop it. Nobody needs to buy Sega.

Not Sony, not MS,not nobody. It would be a complete waste of money. Where would the return on investment come from? Another sorry ass Sonic game that no one will buy? Pure fanboy fodder.

 

[Rice N Beans]

Shenmue trilogy on Steam make it happen.

R.I.P.

Nintendo just needs to make that dive and buy them out. Then bless us with that starfox/nights game!
