Yes, that pretty much sums it up… I think we are a few years away from SEGA falling down the same hole. I think they can only ride Sonic’s tail for so long (I know that was lame).. But with their latest shining force censorship thing, they have lost touch with the fanbase.

The time for cashing in on their product catalog and porting it to low-rez mobile devices to generate renewed interest passed over a decade ago. Even as a publisher Atari has nothing compelling to offer to developers (who would ink a deal with a company on death’s door?).

I am grateful for the VCS memories, but it is time to move on.
