Sega is bad for PC gaming

The latest outrage in a long-running series of intentional mishaps by Sega. I personally believe they've become worse than EA for PC gaming.

Oh. Okay. Not outraged.

Atlus games on PC now? That'd be great.

Not to offend, and I'm certain that many will agree with you here, but I think it's a pretty big exaggeration to put them in the same league as EA. This is an industry-wide issue, and Creative Assembly is catching the flak built up by several unrelated developers ever since "Horse Armor" over either a relatively run-of-the-mill transgression or for a fairly short-sighted miscommunication. This many months after the release of Rome II, I can't help but think there might be some truth to the assertion that it was legitimately a scrapped early element which did not seem to fit into the game properly at that time and therefore was not intended for release, which someone went back and managed to integrate more smoothly into the experience. Or he's lying through his teeth and it's completely awful -- I don't know, I haven't played the game, nor have I kept up with the series in general, so I don't know the subtext here.

I like how the word Sega is nowhere to be found in the article.

They have Football Manager which is HUGE.

Sega has owned The Creative Assembly since 2005. Their output has never appealed to me much, but I don't think I've heard of any other such fiasco from the company other than the general lousiness of their work on Sonic Classic Collection for the Nintendo DS.

Oh, I know. I'm just being snide about the post in general, since the outrage about this dlc thing (deserved or not) appears to be directed at Creative Assembly, but the TC made a sweeping statement about Sega. I've never heard of these "intentional mishaps" before now. As you said, comparing Sega to EA is one hell of a stretch.

Can't say I ever tried Sonic Classic Collection, but I too heard the many complaints about the game.

Sega is responsible for nickel-and-diming Company of Heroes as well. I just hope they don't sell us the xenomorph in the new Aliens game as $19.99 DLC

Wouldn't mind if SEGA brought Project DIVA to PC. That'd be amazing.

I fail to see what this article has to do with Sega. Where's the connection?
