I didn't think Sega's non Japan operations had that many employees left. They definitely don't have much of a marketing department...

Once again. Best of luck to these people and their families. Too many lay offs lately.

Sadly, this sort of thing is important to the function of an economy as a whole. During fat times, it's hard to figure out if employees are overlapping in functions and operating inefficiently. During lean times, there becomes an incentive to look for those functions. This allows companies to release labor back to the market to perform other functions without negatively impacting the output of the company.

Fortunately, that labor usually finds work, thus allowing the volume of goods and services available to the consumer, meaning expansion of prosperity, because now his efforts are being used in the most effective manner. Everyone usually wins when a recession starts to fade out.

If you want to work in a hotter circle of Hell, I heard Infinity Ward and Activision have some openings...

How many are left? They need laid off too. They have mediocre IP @ best. Thus Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Samba de Amigo? Aiai? Billy Hatcher? Seriously? People don't really play those games do they?

Panzer Dragoon
Jet Set Radio
Virtua Fighter
Phantasy Star
Streets of Rage
Golden Axe
Valkyria Chronicles
The House of the Dead
Crazy Taxi
Ecco The Dolphin
Eternal Champions
NiGHTS
Rez
Sega Rally
Shenmue
Vectorman
Yakuza

Studios would kill for a fraction of Sega's IP's.

Considering everything Mario automatically gets at least five bonus points simply because Mario is in it...

And it's a shame that some of those we wont get continuations. Ecco 3? How I want, I really hated that "To be continued" ending, same with Rez.
Streets of Rage 4 would be amazing. Vectorman 3 would've been an insta-buy, along with a third Jet Set.
Granted though, if Ecco 3 came out I wouldn't be able to play it because I've a fear of being underwater, especially in the dark.

I really think Sega should leave Sonic alone and let him rest up and work on their other IPs, and make Valkria Chronicles 2 on the PS3. Then after Sonic's all rested and Sega can make a new one.

I was afraid I'd get misunderstood. I'm making fun of the people who protested Sonic 4 by buying old Sonic games.
