Sega is one of those companies quietly pumping out content for a loyal fan base. They don’t get as much limelight as Nintendo do with their IP, which is a shame because Sega’s games are definitely on a par with the stuff Nintendo release.

> It’s amazing how valuable of an IP Sonic is. It still sells consistently well after all those years.

It’s not as surprising when you consider Sonic is also mascot who they’ve ploughed millions into.

The movies will have definitely reignited some interest into Sonic too

That's more like it

When you look at pretty much every other brand out there, Sega aren’t nearly as aggressively milking their IPs.

They’re not even in the same league as Nintendo, Disney, Lego, etc. And when you look at other games companies from the same era (Capcom, Atari, etc) then you’d see that Sega are still releasing original content too vs the same rehashed shit that people buy purely because of the name.

Then on the other end of the spectrum you have companies buying studios and letting those games rot (like EA). Studios encouraging micro-transactions (Microsoft with Minecraft, EA, Roblox, Epic, etc) and even underage gambling with loot boxes. Shit that has no place in gaming. It’s Also Sega are one of the least aggressive companies out there “defending” their IP against fan-made content.

Sega are a massively underrated brand in today’s gaming landscape.

Look, as far as I'm concerned the continued existence of Atari is worth it solely because they keep on giving money to Jeff Minter to reinterpret their eighties coin-ops as weird psychedelic trips, not all of them work but they keep him and Giles and his sheep fed and give him time to tinker with his own weird games.

Any other decent Atari rehashes are pure lagniappe.

I didnt understand anything of what you said

Play Polybius, the recent I, Robot remake, and TxK/Tempest 4000 and my meaning will become clear. For extra credit also play the original 80's I, Robot and Tempest.
