I wonder why Sega Died?

I wonder why Sega Died?

But Sega is still a company.

They mistakenly decided that arcades were where the real money was at.

Goat controller

well they're doing just fine in the arcades

their console business died because of blunders like 32x and us saturn

They are still kicking, I just wish they started digging up their IP graveyard instead of doing yet another Sonic or Yakuza.

Lawd is a witness we need new Shinobi or Shining Force.

It certainly wasn't in their console business.

They just has 1 too many console flops, sucks cus dreamcast was goat

Lots of reasons. Bernie Stolar, people waiting for the looming PS2, Saturn fatigue, even EA wanting Sega to abandon making their own better sports games or else they'd boycott the system (Sega refused). Some other shit, there was a good episode of Icons about the Dreamcast and its fall.

>new Shining Force

It would probably just be more Neo/EXA shit and not real Shining Force.

It's almost like the Saturn had the best controller and best dpad before they made the "3d" controller meme.

Whoops.

>any round dpad
>good

Nope.

>not liking round dpads

>not liking nice raised up perfectly circular actually-able-to-fucking-do-diagonals-easily dpads

literally kys

>being casual
>thinking it matters when a casual says kys

Diagonals are perfectly easy to do in normal dpads. Maybe you just suck at games.

The 3D Controller wasn't even bad, honestly.

Kind of an oddball implementation of an analog "stick," and it pioneered analog triggers as a standard for console controllers.

Shining Force is gone, user.

It's Tony Taka Waifu World now.

>It's Tony Taka Waifu World now.
Why aren't they h-games tho? I could get with that. It's not like another Force game is gonna set the world on fire anyway, much as I love it.

In-fight and poorly commercial and financial decisions

Don't even say shit like that in jest.

It happened to Valis; it can happen to anyone.

How would that even be in jest? If they're gonna rape franchises because MONEYMONEYMONEY, we might as well get tits for our trouble.

Because nobody wants another Valis X debacle.

Better to leave it dead.

>Valis X
Well NOW I'm interested...

>Valis X (pronounced "Valis Cross" - more like Valis Gross) is filth of the worst order, full of bizarre fetish porn and misogynist bullshit. The series has never been overly prudish, but this fate is a bit much to stomach. Technically, it condenses together the events of the first three games, but things have been retconned so Cham and Valna can appear from the very beginning to have more female characters at hand to objectify and exploit.
Nice, nice...

>Being a visual novel,
...aaaand you lost me.

Fair enough, user. Much as I like tits, I like my games to remain games. Now s'cuse me while I go off to find what
>the next disturbing rape fantasy is always waiting just around the corner
is.

>biggest publisher of strategy games on the PC
>dead

Obscenely poor management outside of japan, spending way too fucking much on Shenmue and choosing to cut their loses with the dreamcast rather than just ride out the weak console generation pretty much sealed their fate as the dead console company.

Yeah they're still easy to do, it's just round d-pads are better.
