Enough live service games have lost enough money, including Sega’s Hyenas, that at least one company is now scared enough to stop making them. Video games are healing.

> Over 100 developers who were working on free-to-play titles have already been transferred to ‘Full Game’ development teams, “focusing on mainstay IPs”, according to the company. Good to see them doing that instead of massive layoffs.

They're sitting on IP's with crazy potential like Jet Set Radio / Crazy Taxi and are doing nothing with them.

Finally! Of all the gaming companies, I think Sega is #2 behind EA on properties they own that they are doing fuck all with. I'd love a current gen Burning Rangers, or Phantasy Star (not online).

If Sega still had their edge Haste would have been a Sonic game before the indie studio could think of it and PSO2 NG wouldn't exist
