Well, I suppose as long as people keep teasing vague things until something happens, they'll never truly be wrong.

This thing that I cant tell you about might happen sometime, or it might not, and it might not even be a thing, or it might sort of be a sort of thing that might not end up being anything of the sort....but trust me, if it does end being a thing its the sort of thing that will blow your mind....maybe.

I mean don’t you find it odd that as long as this has been going on neither MS nor SEGA has denied it??

Usually if something is being thrown around for a period of time someone in company will acknowledge it as BS.

strange...,.

They have to put their Saturn, Dreamcast & arcade stuff on it. I can't take much more of their Megadrive collections.

I think the Mini killed any desire to own future MD compilations. If they wanted, they could just put all the games on the the Astro City Mini into a compilation disc. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Yes, every company needs to comment on EVERY rumor floating around about them or it's totally happening.

Us believers see the writing on the wall of the great merger that will be taking place next Wednesday.

I feel sorry for all the fools that can't see the forest for the trees.

More Rumors
As always, take it with a huge load grain of salt, but if it should be correct, we should know more in summer.

Probably on a Wedsneday 😅

It reads as if some Xbox fan who has been following the "news" about SEGA and Microsoft (just look at how he references the Twitter "teases", Phil's recent statements regarding Tango and all the public management changes that the SEGA Sammy group has went through in the past year) and had just put a "rumour" coat of paint to his wishful thinking.

Although word on the street remains that there are major players in the gaming industry looking into acquiring SEGA atm, with MS and Sony being among them.

Isnt there a rumor that MS still is in a buy fever?
Whatever happens, I just want Sega to release more games with all these IP they still have...

Phil wants a Japanese company. I dont think there are any major Japanese devs who would even consider joining xbox outside of sega. Sega still hates Sony and has a super deep rooted relation ship with xbox. I know this rumor is posted and debunked all the time but I believe one day it will be Wednesday.

And then they can use sega as a bethesda esque self run publishing wing for Japan and acquire smaller studios like bokeh and fold them under sega instead of under xgs

It's because Sega fans are a ragtag group of lunatics, ranging from Shenmue begging weebs, fighting game snobs, children who love sonic, furries who love sonic sexually, arcade fans that can't afford the gas money to drive to the nearest one, 45 year olds who love retro gaming but aren't stupid enough to support Intellivision's vaporware, unemployed software coders that dream and think about VDP1 and VDP2 management while staring at their square shaped off-brand breakfast cereal, and totally unkempt console warriors living in a catatonic state; All of them waiting to unite again under one banner and beat to quarters.

The second coming of the Dreamcast will begin with a vanguard of dormant Sega drones pushing 40 years old, getting activated to hold their own children upside down in a toilet bowl whenever they mention Sony or Nintendo. These Swirlies will be the first step toward truly awaited greatness.

BELIEVE, GAF!

The only reason I'm in xbox eco system is because I was a sega fan Boi from the genesis days and when dream cast died my model had a windows logo on the front so I said eff it and joined xbox.

Late posting this but a couple weeks back they were willing to deny an Elden Ring trailer.
Yet for some reason they still won't deny that they are buying Sega?
Pretty obvious it's a done deal and will most certainly be revealed next Wednesday.

Find a way to buy Konami would be a better idea.

Konami isn't doing that much nowadays... it cannot be worse with Microsoft.(they would produce less mobile garbage and more console games I think)

Considering there was a ton of stuff with MS employees all wearing Sonic shirts, the arrival of all the Yakuza games and Yakuza 7 timed exclusive, SEGA having a strong relationship with Xbox and more we will see if the rumor just posted is true, guess we just wait till middle of the year.

If we keep telling Phil Spencer to buy Sega, he will. You just need to believe.

I totally expect him to step off a plane with an NTSC-J Sega Saturn and a copy of Gals Panic SS in his luggage, any day now.
