Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
More 'believing' and not necessarily facts, but Kotick wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't have backup plans. Too bad he can't be as good at handling internal studio issues as he is ensuring he gets a backup marketing deal.
He has no shame. Mind on the money and the money on his mind.
But I will say that I thank him for all the delicious information about Microsoft. The two faced lies, the wanting to buy up the industry list, deals to keep games off of PlayStation, the demoralizing statements that they lost the console war, game pass cannibalizing sales, the shady and false equivalency whataboutism... Just delicious.
Somehow, it makes my enjoyment of supporting Sony's efforts to make and release great games and consoles consistently, that much sweeter. It shouldn't. But it does. Makes my firm belief in that the deal should be blocked even more firm.
Kotick screwed anyways imo.
Spencer is the parasitic, bloodsucking tick trying to drain the industry. Bobby is his Co-tick.
