Grubb: "I have heard that Microsoft is spending a lot of money on something that isn't an acquisition"

Out of curiosity, do people complain about Tetris 99 being exclusive to Switch? Or is that game so heavily tied to that system now that it just is what it is?
Never seen anyone do so. By the nature of the company's objectives, people tend not to argue about these things in the same way as they do between Microsoft and Sony.
I was just about to say that lol. People here would lose it for enhanced BC Dreamcast and Saturn games.
I'd lose it for just a straight port of OG resolution Panzer Dragoon Saga, if I'm honest (hopefully with a physical release).
But that's already happening on HBO. Like it's in production as I type this
SEGA And Microsoft have a partnership that goes all the way back to the Dreamcast.
Plus, Microsoft was the first console Manufacturer SEGA went to outside of Nintendo and garnered a deal on exclusives back then.
That and Microsoft generally feels like the successor to the space SEGA took up in the console race too to boot.
God bless Peter Moore for that.
Speaking of which, I just read on Wikipedia that Peter More stepped down from his CEO position at Liverpool Football Club last month. Wonder what he'll be doing next...
Really? Okay, now I wonder what one of the masterminds behind the Dreamcast in North America and SEGA's association with Microsoft ever since will do now.
Tetris 99 is a first party game: Nintendo published and developed with their engine.
There's no feasible chance it's this tbh but I'm taking an extreme long-shot at the possibility of it being a merger with EA.
I wondered the same thing and called him up. I gave him this advice, "Petey, you gotta do you." And he said "I do More."
But why would first party put them there instead of going for 70$?
Well MS was the only one that were never in direct competition with...
Makes sense. That and MS was console Partner on the Dreamcast. Hence the Powered with Windows CE Logo on the front of the console.
According to wikipedia citing Famitsu, Sega's best selling console in Japan was Saturn, by far. I had no idea.
5,750,000, slightly less than PS Vita.

They probably didn't have the specifics on what was being purchased, but that it was a big deal nonetheless.
They're spending money left right and centre at the moment - like the EA deal announced only couple of weeks ago. So I'm sure it doesn't end here.
they don't understand that SEGA is more than a gaming company, and is probably the least convenient for them to acquire
