Sega is splitting its console/PC and pachinko businesses into 2 different companies owned by Sega Sammy

The origins of port begging if I remember correctly were every damn thread being filled up with "VITA PORT WHEN", which has no real relation to anything in the threads they were in. It was legit just vita when on a trailer for a ps4 or 3ds game that had no reason to inherently come to vita.
One is...well
....asking for a port. One is conjecture as to a studio forming. Begging isnt the same nor is all begging port begging regardless, some is diff.
Tbh I bet that many people posting here also post on XboxEra.
Honestly, once MS spent 7.5 billion dollars on a publisher that's a too big earthquake to not change the playfield.
Although is fun to speculate I think there's very little reason for MS to buy Sega and this does not indicate otherwise.

Yeah, if port begging is not allowed, studio beggining should not be,i dont think. If anything it is worse, because with port begging you are only asking for a game you want to play in a platform you like, here is just pure console war corporate apology. It is honestly embarrassing.
On topic, i think this is just a change for optimization and in response to the covid-19 situation, perhaps preparing for the future.

Agree with Total War, though a console version could be interesting.
Football manager.... well tbh Nintendo could use a good sport IP.
There's a difference between a company's cash reserves and actually stirring up enough legal tender to make an acquisition. Sony has $40 billion or so in cash, and still needed to contact a loan company to help them raise the $1.5 billion they planned to offer Leyou.
While this is true, it would still take away a lot of smaller, but beloved franchises from platforms that are attached to them for decades. Sakura Wars, Shin Megami Tensei/Persona, Shining and so on. If MS decides to make everything exclusive to their eco-system. It would suck for a lot of people. Very curious about how the gaming landscape will look in 10 years. I don't see this turning into something good tbh.
Again, this is very silly comparison.
Like completely. Come on, guys.
Conjecture based on business climate is nowhere like port begging. It's such a silly comparison it should not even come up.
But you don't see how people keep on banging the drum on every single company out there whenever something happens over there?
Like let's be honest here, this thread is about Sega restructuring and the first thing people start saying is MS buying them or people talking about their games being on game pass.
It is not even just about Sega, Square along with Capcom and even Konami are mentioned even though all three are doing well. And that's just on the japanese side.
To me it is as close as to "Perfect for the Switch/Vita/PC/PS4" as it comes.
No worries.
I do see how you might have thought this because Tencent is investing in Japanese companies too.
Again, because two huge players, Tencent and MS have signaled they are open to buy. That's why all this happening. Once they make their acquisitions, it will cool down.
It's also earnings season, so a lot of business activity.
ResetEra really making a stand that Xbox fans do not belong here, huh?
I'm sure messages like "Save us, MS" are actually really smart analysis of the company's economics and not fanboy drivel like portbegging is.
Yep. People who are acting like this is nothing are sticking their heads in the sand.
ResetEra: leftism, progressivism but most of all, hoping for billion/trillion dollar companies to gobble up everything :)
All these comments about Microsoft acquiring them is just jading to constantly keep seeing.....
"Warchest" and other quite frankly embarrassing comments based on pure fiction at this moment in time is just annoying.
Can we please just have threads about SEGA not be about acquisition and how MS are preparing to buy them, joke or not it's just grating to constantly see.....

I guess I missed that thread.
Even that, it is silliness. Boards have silliness and seriousness in them at the same time. That's clearly a joke.
But the reason the speculation is happening is because two big players have signaled intentions to buy. Has Sony and Nintendo said anything?
If you don't see how every thread about a company talking about their business (even when successful) turns into "MS should buy them" then I don't even know how to explain it to you.
this place is so welcoming of Xbox fans that users felt the need to branch out. let that one marinate lol
The real funny thing is it started with Disney long before it crossed over to Gaming.
I'm going to go against the grain and wager this could very well be a potential Sony acquisition in the making. Sony's Japanese division is kinda in a rough way and I can see them wanting to revitalize it. I think there's also more synergy between Sega and Sony in general. They're probably also looking at responding to the Bethesda purchase and these newer rumors of Microsoft looking for another acquisition could in fact be a preemptive response to a splash Sony's about to be making. We'll see. If this is another Microsoft buyout though, they absolutely 100% force Sony's hand into an acquisition; Capcom or Square-Enix will be next. Round and round it goes.
The left usually doesn't support big giant companies and would prefer to break them up for competition reasons which makes this place funny.
There's another thread about Sega restructuring:
Toshihiro Nagoshi stepping down as Sega CCO; now a Creative Director [up: part of management restructure]

Hahaha you know this ain't gonna happen right? People were screaming, no begging for more just a few days after the Zenimax acquisition.
Their games sell well in the West on Nintendo and Sony consoles.
Is it also bootlicking when people are hoping that Sony buys Capcom or Konami? Or is it only an issue when it's big scary Xbox?
People vastly overestimate the commercial value of Sega Japan's IP catalogue, as per usual. It's also funny how some people seem to actually thirst for corporate aquisitions?? seems like console warring to me.
I ignore it. Not as in literal ignore button, but it doesn't bother me given the situation currently going on with Tencent and MS.
And?There's another thread about Sega restructuring:

Is this thread called "MS in talks to buy Sega"? There is nothing in the OP that even comes close to that.
Why would they starting doing this in response to COVID when there's now a vaccine out now? Wouldn't you expect something eariler?
Come on. This clearly sets them up to be acquired. Some people are in denial.
Noting wrong with Xbox fans. Corporate shillings are something different.
Please be independent Sega, consolidation is bad for industry. In the end nobody will be able to play what they want due to it being jailed in one or another platform, will be the SNES vs Genesis generation all over again...
People don't even understand what's happening here. Pachinko business is dying.
So, the only division that could be on sale from Sega Sammy is pachinko business :)

Good for you but that doesn't mean other people who hate acquisitions are fine with corporate cheer leading. Especially when said people are big fans of the companies and would like access.
This makes sense. Their pachinko/arcade/gym business's were hit hard.
Yesterday there was a thread with a rumor saying that MS was looking to purchase a big "Bethesda-sized" company. Today there is a thread saying that Sega is splitting their game division and pachinko division. It's natural for the speculation to be that MS might be involved.
