How the fuck is Sega still active after 2 decades of so many massively retarded business failures and mismanagement?

I blame Sonic fanboys. Sure, there are some people who just very casually like Sonic, and those people probably play a lot of other kind of games too, but the hardcore cultists are probably what keeps the company afloat.

Someone has to be buying not just those games but all of that merchandise.
 
So where is the billion dollar figure coming from? I haven't seen it anywhere in any of the articles, other then a $100 million figure for the budget of just the game. As for advertisement? It was mostly on Twitter from what I recall, but even then, why would you advertise a game in Alpha build for closed playtesting?

Interestingly, MandaloreGaming played the beta test and he basically shat all over it. Gianni Matragrano (UILTRAKILL's Gabriel) also had... a lot, to say.

Eta: laughing my ass off.
 
One more thing that is missing from all these new hero shooter games: SOME FUCKING PROPER 2009-TIER TRASH TALKING THAT IS NOT INTERRUPTED BY MODS BANNING YOU FROM A GAME YOU OWN BECAUSE YOU CALLED THAT DICKHEAD CAMPER IN THAT FUCKING CORNER A GIGANIGGERTRON 3000 WHO'S MOM YOU HAVE IN FACT, FUCKED. That is all.
 
Sega is so retarded to have TA decide to make a heccin quirky gay fps instead of a battlefield/planetside game. Their literal stick is to make massive detailed maps and a billion units, how could they fumble it this bad? :lossmanjack:

It is probably a misconception from Sega expecting to lose 14 billion Japanese Yen in profits, which amounts to 95 million USD, so yeah, the game budget was not 1 billion USD as far as everyone knows, Nool should update the title of the thread feature if I am not being retarded this time.

Edit: whale roads explained this better below:

In their 2021 annual report SEGA talked about investing ~$1 billion into a series of gaming development projects including some so-called "SUPER GAME" initiatives intended to become new "major global titles." It's assumed that HYENAS was one of these initiatives. In actuality this one game didn't cost $1 billion, but was rather a subset of that projected budget.

Volound, total war fanatic who hates CA with a burning passion (who also have a thread on this site) released a video reacting to all of this.

Didn't take him long to gloat lol. That said, volound is a MASSIVE nigger. He is way too arrogant for how much of a retard he is. Sometimes he's right by accident, but most of the time he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Y'know the really sad thing? You can get away with having utterly shitty character designs and pozzed bios and plots and whatever ... if you end up delivering a game that's actually fun to play. Lesbian and fag characters both eat lead just as well as their straight counterparts and that dangerhair ain't gonna save 'em from explosives either. But as long as it's fun, that stuff is just pandering. Just make the game fun.

Regrettably the odds of them actually doing that are as close to zero as makes no odds.

To them, it'a not about creating an enjoyable experience for the customer. It's a propaganda vehicle for the developers. Hence, whenever pozzed media flops, it is blamed on "entitled" and "bigoted" audiences misnterpreting their own opinions. It's never a possibility in their minds that their product hot garbage.

How old was he exactly when he found out that he was gay and went to a show for adults?

The guy running around in the Sonic costume made me laugh, so as far as I'm concerned this game is a success since that alone brought me infinitely more happiness than any other game in this genre.

Reading the OP and the first post after it I can't help but seethe at the amount of zero-effort-ESL around here. Can't tell if you learned the language solely from youtube and cartoon network or if you had some turbotrash English teacher in highschool but if you can't differentiate plural from singular words or think "would/could of" is a real thing you should probably fuck off to duolingo or something.

Should/could of etc is a classic mistake usually made by people who mainly speak english. Same with mixing their with they're and similar.
 
Part of me hopes esport scenes dies down. A lot of game been ruined or neglected chasing that esports money and sometimes making it less fun for the general audience.

Overwatch started getting worse with changes they did for esports players. Especially downsizing it to 5v5

Has any multiplayer fps with "innovative fast paced movement" ever worked enough to justify dumping so much money into this shitheap?
Click to expand...
Shit, only two of those immediately come to mind that were any good.

Quake Arena and Team Fortress 2. Mostly because the "advanced movement" is all based on manipulating the physics engine to bunny hop and rocket/explosive jump faster than you can just press the "forward" movement key, and takes much more skill than "right click and point".

They made Sonic games after the Sega Genesis died other than Sonic Adventure?

It really is a damn shame that the best 3D Sonic game hands down is a goddamned DOOM mod. Sonic Team just didn't have the juice to match Nintendo at the time, and Sonic never recovered.

Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go hug my Genesis carts that I've owned since the '90s as a child. (yes, even Spinball, too!)
