Sonic the Hedgehog helped revive 63-year-old Sega. The firm wants a repeat with its other classics

Utsumi addressed rumors of Microsoft interest to buy the company.

Sega’s operations chief dismissed the suggestion that Sega, which is owned by Sega Sammy Corporation, the company formed from the merger of Sega and Sammy Corporation in 2004, had any intention of being sold to another party.

“Many companies are interested. We feel honored,” Utsumi told CNBC.

“We have attractive IPs and potentials. Companies owned by the owner. A strong owner. I don’t think that kind of transaction is going to happen.”

The less Microsoft gets their hands on the better!

What a terrible company Microsoft turned out to be…

I would hate to see the day they purchase even more of what everyone used to enjoy jointly.

Altered Beast and Jest Set Radio please

Patanu162d ago

More Altered Beast is always appreciated.

I didn’t really rate it that well to be honest, not bad just “alright”. I just respected them changing the design after the backlash more than anything.

I just don’t think you need the real world and other human beings (apart from people like Robotnik obviously) for a Sonic film. I kind of wish we had just gotten Mobius over Earth.

Rainbowcookie163d ago

I sometimes feel Microsoft would buy Microsoft again if they had to...

autobotdan163d ago

Bring back Phantasy Star please

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo12h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9012h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19893h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

qalpha13h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno13h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan12h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno12h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198112h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6694h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Inverno13h ago

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 3h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

banger882d ago

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19811d 16h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein1d 15h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
