I FULLY SUPPORT/ENDORSE/PROMOTE SEGA PIRACY
I WAS a massive supporter of SEGA...every "bad" move by sega, in my eyes, was almost unavoidable...EXCEPT a few...the shining force series is one, seeing as how the Saturn lived for almost THREE FUCKIN YEARS in japan, they coulda tossed a friggin bone out to the US and released the other two...
but I could see them not doing that...
then the maraca thing...sega's OWN FUCKIN STORE didn't have any, hell they only made enough so 1/4 of the games would have enough, and I had to go to two different counties to get two sets...that was pushin it something hardcore heavy
then announcing that DC death was decided almost a year ago...that was going a bit too far...and the US over supporting the DC, a massive userbase, and what happens? well OF FUCKIN COURSE, games are given to the japanese NON SUPPORTERS like they are gods, what does america get? less than 50% conversions!??? WHAT THE FUCK??
this was finally maxin out my limits...the ONLY thing holding me down was the fact that there were already so many great DC titles, and that from what I already had, EVERYTHING I was looking forward to was actually in production for my DC...and I felt that I could live with any sega decisions to move platforms..yadda yadda...
of course, claiming to have a Phantasy Star game (FINALLY) and then just dumping out some blah blah bullshit hack n' slash NOTHING TO DO WITH PHANTASY STAR game, with the phantasy star title really pissed me off, not helping that they finally decide to revive some great series on OTHER PLATFORMS while they still continue to lie and claim they support the DC...18 months my ass
then what happens? game after game gets DROPPED from the list, citing sega's decision to pull out...and finally, the most heinous of all things, and I will NEVER forgive sega, EVER for this
Breaking the promise for another Jet Grind Radio game on the DC
I have never felt this kind of betrayal from SEGA before, I have NEVER turned a blind eye to such a ridiculous steaming pile of bullshit
does anyone else realize that when sega had PROMISED the sequel to jet grind radio for the DC, it was WELL AFTER THE DECISION TO CAN THE DREAMCAST??? how could they DARE to announce that game for the DC when they KNEW FULL WELL that it was NOT going to be on the DC? did they think that EVERY DC owner was gonna be blind and stupid enough to think that makes the Xbox worthy? I used to think sega was the greatest software group of all time, but even for them it would be pure arrogance to think they could make or break someone else's system alone on their first move out
this was not a business realization, this was not an unavoidable issue, this was not a sudden decision at all, but a very premeditated LIE, and for that, I will NEVER forgive sega.
...I don't take backstabbings very well...
This is one of the few decisions I will not ever consider changing for the rest of my life.
