Please Sega do a Gen AI toothbrush so it gets covered here. 😊

"I'm working on other things and honestly, I'm happy to be away from the drama. It's an oversaturated market and trying to enter now as a new company would be a deathwish."

Unfortunately there's been too few good ones thanks to LRG. 🤔

Wow, the PC-88 version is bright! 😲

@AnonUser I'm one of the few people who still rents film/TV and I always get discs allocated that have marks to the point they can't be played properly. I imagine a store like CEX suffers from this a lot.

@DadGamerUK Yeah I didn't know the link at the bottom was your quote.

@PopetheRev28 That I understand, I'm not saying if something is only available on DVD we should ignore it but not sure why studios put their stuff on DVD today.

@Damo Oh okay.

@PopetheRev28 I just don't see the value in DVDs when blu-rays and 4Ks do what DVD does but better. But yeah, obviously there's still a market, I just think it holds the newer media formats back.

Beats seeing Commodore branded socks I guess.

"MY WIFE WOULD DIVORCE ME ON THE SPOT"

Not sure where this is from. No source was given in the article? 🤔

@Ruka Agreed. It's useless tat and so what?

@PXAbstraction I very much agree with this.

There's an affectionate term we use for people like Damien, "jammy git". He is so, so lucky. 😲

This is why it's so important to get different accounts of a recollection.

Now this is the type of tech we need more of! 👍

@AnonUser "I never understood disc scratch removers as anyone who actually cares about their optical media tends to take care of it so it's not damaged in the first place."

What about second hand discs?

You should ask him how he feels now @Damo , I wonder if his opinion is different? 🤔

@PopetheRev28 Part of the problem with that is the continuous support for DVDs. Imagine keeping VHS tapes going. People need to be moved onto blu-rays and 4Ks. SD on disc is pointless today.

Hilarious. Just as funny as your Discord mods banning users for no reason and people from your company there making fun of people here. 🙄

He built his company on giving scalpers business and selling shoddy products for high prices. He may have contributed to physical media's downfall. 🤔

@Jimgamer8 Shame about the community and those like Pete that work for it.

Hey Cyan, this is how you remaster a game! 😉

Frank is preaching to the choir but shouting to the clouds. They don't care.

Yeah I was sure he didn't know what he was talking about. A lot of 3DO IP's are tied up with other companies so it seems pointless in trying to revive something that costs too much.

Oh well, at least we can get that remaster of that hidden gem Sheep. 😆

@breach187 Infamous, how? 🤔

@81632bit Let's hope for more. 👍

@Quick_Man He lowered the price.

@xzacutor Commodore have released stuff. This is a bigger company with more people behind it.

@Martin_H Yeah we'll see if he goes that route. 😂

I'm sorry but the whole thing feels hypocritical. He wants to detox people away from modern tech yet uses Gen AI every chance he can get. Again as with all these people pro and detractors all I ask for is consistency! 🤦‍♂️

I think this guy is way in over his head. He doesn't really understand the logistics of what he's selling. The 3DO identity will most likely get buried anyway.

@Martin_H Not really.

Seems like they put the cart before the horse. They have next to nothing and fake placeholder awards don't help. 3DO definitely needs a new lease of life though. 🤔

" This suggests that if what he is telling me is true, he is either the most humble man alive or he likely operated with a cloak and dagger, behaving more secretively than some major governments."

Third reason: the games haven't been added to MobyGames yet.

"Şekercigil, for instance, tells me that it is currently in "active negotiations for one of the major, historic 3DO properties" and that "several lesser-known companies and independent individuals contacted us, stating they hold certain niche 3DO copyrights and wish to discuss licensing.""

In other words...Piko Interactive. 😪

@tektite_captain He isn't planning on bringing out an emulation console.

@Razieluigi 3DO was good though. It had potential.

@Daric Slow news week I guess. Hopefully Sega don't lean into AI ads for socks or it might be reported here. 😂

@HammyHavoc I'm a little confused by this myself.

Why does this info not get found out while they're still alive? 🤦‍♂️

@NatiaAdamo Puyo Puyo could have been turned into a proper series.

Great article, provides so much context! 👍

I guess I missed the product placement. The movie was kind of boring me.

You could do worse than release a compilation of the games for modern platforms. My old SNK Playmore copy has horrible DRM attached.

I'm sure LRG and DE will end up doing a compilation of these games.

@Simon-Butler It just seems like you hold a grudge against any YouTuber who earns money from their channel.

The list is long and for some weird reason you only focus on British YouTubers. 🤔

@Quick_Man Kind of is. By not providing a physical copy they're not exactly being reliable are they?

A realistic price for a PAL copy is £10.

@BellaGoth You can see why Sonic Origins is a lazy cash grab then.

@Sketcz "Why, WHY would a company, when chatting with Sega about a license for a game, choose to license Sonic 1?"

It's Sonic's birthday and Sega aren't feeling particularly creative that's why.

Price is still too high. I couldn't buy one anyway but if I did I think the price should be lower for what it is.

@Simon-Butler I know you don't like YouTubers but the Amiga announcement was made a few weeks before the phone dude. 😆

@Quick_Man "At least GTA6 is a product that you can trust will be a good video game with lots of work put in over the span of a decade, y'know?"

Not sure I'd be so quick to defend Rockstar.

It goes without saying giving people chances is extremely important to help grow others.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It does beg the question would Quake have turned out as a classic if things had gone differently? 🤔

I would like to think Kingdom Hearts was a little more fun than Mario 64. 😆

Core Design really had issues putting out Tomb Raider games as the series went on. They got sick of the yearly turnaround, it's crazy to read about.

A Sega themed pinball game compilation would be cool but oh well, that's another idea Sega aren't interested in doing. 😪

Thanks Jack for the credit! I didn't know the Sonic Twitter/X account didn't have the newsletter. Glad to help. 😊

It's on Master System? So basically we should call it Power Strike 3? 🤔

Why do I get the impression EA have a backup plan for such a move? 🤔

This would be great to buy...had I not bought the original one a few years ago. 😪

That's pretty clever! 😆

See, this is what more of these collections should be doing. Adding unreleased games as part of their collections. Don't put two games in a bundle and call it a collection. 🤦‍♂️

This could be a fun game.

They need to get a Master System, Saturn and Dreamcast emulator together.
