For now, ms has a moderate hands off approach to the companies they buy, but that won't always be case, the corporate culture and business paradigm will seep into everything, and soon it will just all clump together as 1 giant conglomerated entity

One that may or may not be rosey and fun

Does this make the impoverished desperate xbox users feel better or something?

Is it because you can't buy a PC and get a real definitive exp so you feverishly fantasize about Sony guys never getting the next MTX infested bethesda game on their little poverty box?

The microsoft I see today and for quite awhile botches 90% of what they do in the gaming space, is it really worth it?

There are new giant competitors getting into the industry, and Xbox is the least threatening option to the status quo if acquisitions do start happening. You misunderstand completely though. The dream is Sega rising from it's grave against all rational sense and reason, other than to complement and fix that 90% you are delusional about while being "that guy", the party pooper.

Curiously I was wondering what the last Sega developed game was that I played. I mean what does Sega even do that I care about?

It was Panzer Dragoon Orta or Shenmue 2. Yes on Xbox. When Xbox was still good.

Microsofts attempts in the gaming space since 2010 have been hokey and hamfisted

The Xbox brand is just tired and mired in mediocrity. For every headturning move they do, they have a handful of misfires. It's just fact at this point.

MS's endgame looks alot like Amazon's or Google's in the long term for the gaming space, MS just has some sort of core gaming legacy behind it to slip it in gently.

Yet you reply to my posts.

Hmmmmmm

You joined the forum as a new member, only to end up shitting on consoles as being poverty boxes in less than 10 posts, trying to platform warrior your way into what is clearly a joke thread about Sega coming back on Microsoft's dime.

I want to reply to you as much as I can, because it very well could be a limited time offer, and I feel the FOMO.

Are they not poverty boxes? I've viewed them as much for almost a decade, I've had alot of fun with them, but their use is waning, the exclusive (if they even stay exclusive) games take longer to make, they offer less and less core features, more and more monetization schemes and are just homogenized now.

This offends you? They are all now plastic boxes with semi reliable metal bits that charge you to play online

OH NO!

:^) I skimmed 20 pages of this thread

It was shit far before I laid my money bucks turd in here.

I don't even play MS game studios games on PC, their library isn't even worth a 99% discount atm

Tho one day I'll probably be nostalgic for some halo 2 and 3, I'll take a peak to see if they are perfect ports by then.

Triggered is a strong term, just airing my grievances

Triggered? would probly be the people replying to posts that were never addressed to them.
Awesome opinion, thanks for sharing.

Owning a gaming PC was never a sign of wealth and deep pocket , and most known games will continue to perform modestly on pcs because of poor hardware optimizations in the software side like cp2077 running @17 fps.

Eh, not much of a modern gamer, tbh I could have settled on a 980 and a 4770K and be set for life and never look back, but emulating my ps3 library and raytrace mods for quake keep me hungry for new tech.

SEGA is American in origin.

Zenimax bought Tango Gameworks.

SNK is now owned by a Saudi Prince.

Ford used to own Mazda.

Renault-Nissan.

This Japanese culture thing is a myth and also total bullshit. Everyone has a price.

Considering we are in a dedicated shitposting thread:
Xbox owners are fat dumb Americans who want to play Call of Duty. What would Sega's library add to the Xbox brand? Pearls before swine.

Sonic Mania, the new Wonder Boy games, and Streets of Rage 4 were amazing games. But they weren't made by Sega. I also don't think it's fair to include the Genesis Mini, the Astro City Mini, or any remasters of old games, because as good as those products are, they aren't NEW games. For my tastes, the Xbox 360/PS3 generation was when Sega died. Other companies picked up their IP's and did stuff with them, but I didn't care much for anything they developed last gen.

Those are usually the same people who are cheering on Steam while hating every other platform, not realizing that Steam is exactly the same online-DRM account gatekeeping bullshit as all the other launchers and Valve is a company like any other.

Well, Steam has been around for 15+ years and has built up trust and confidence with the gaming community, which other companies have not.

steam has family sharing, user reviews and other neat features every other launcher lacks. the only one coming close is funnily enough the Microsoft Store. it too as family sharing and user reviews.

not other PC store has either of these features... GOG doesn't need them since their launcher is optional

Sure but it still gatekeeps you from your games. It's a glorified DRM system. Why do we need a client software? Why can't steam be just an online store which fucks off after I have bought the game? Why do we need a launcher at all? Why can't I just download the game, install it and then run it. I like the model of GoG more, which is also a digital-only store but at least it fucks off after I have bought the game. They give me install files and that's it. I can even keep those files so that I never have to bother with the store again, if I so choose. I want my games decoupled from any service/store but I know I am in the minority. I know that everyone trusts Valve and Steam but that's something I can't really understand and probably never will.

Lizzardcube/Guard Crush are TINY teams... They needed killers with them:

Streets of rage 2 was mainly made by Ancient.

So, yeah, Streets of Rage 4 had more Sega staff involved than Street of Rage 2...
