SEGA fans all over will be sad to hear that for the first time since E3 began, the shrinking game developer will not have a booth. This truly marks the end of an era. Amidst restructuring and staff reductions, SEGA will turn their focus towards digital distribution on PC and mobile as their best chance at success.
Walking down the hallway of the glamorous Twinstiq office towards the cooler for a drink, I caught our own Andrew J. Amideo quietly sobbing in a corner. As I approached, he uttered the words "I just died a little inside." Upon hearing the news myself, I went into an almost catatonic state as memories of the Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast flashed before my eyes. Andrew splashed a paper cup full of cold natural spring water, bringing me back to reality. A depressing reality. Thanks a lot Andrew.
It is this reporter's wish that SEGA will find success in its new direction, bringing them back to their former dazzling glory. There are a lot of good properties that can be capitalized on, hopefully revitalizing a once giant force in the video game business.
