EBToriginal: Sega has no idea how to stay in buisness. This has been incredibly obvious for quite a while.
they manage to stay afloat because of nostalgia
sonic ( ignoring that sonic boom went boom )
and sammy's pachinko machines but their actual business decisions have been abysmal
Foxhack: Because Sega is stupid and hates money.
No, really. They have loads of games that would fit here, and many are pretty much DRM-Free but again - they're stupid and hate money.
And I say this as someone who's been a fan of theirs for over twenty years.
and that is anything new ?
the problem is sega of japans backwards ways and refusal to try new things or take risks or look for new avenues
it was seg aof america that made the megadrive a huge succes
it was sega of america that made sega a household name
it was sega of america that had their heads screwed on right
and then sega dropped the saturn on everybody 4 months early
and they have been in a death spiral ever since
but then the actual sega the sega that made classics games the sega we all know and love that sega is long gone
it died in 2001 along with the dreamcast when they pulled out of hardware manufacturing
the sega we got now is a pale imitation a ghost wandering around
and my brand loyalty only goes so far
