As great as Sega were (and they really were fantastic), the current state of the company paints a disappointingly depressing picture for fans of that once great Sega blue sky.
Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
No they're not, stop lying.
It's almost like they want to fail.
I know, right. They did everything they could from a position of power to mess things up......kind of like Liverpool.
Why Sega doesn't get their crap together is beyond me. Why waste money developing sub par games, when they are capable of so much more.
