As a PSO2 fan, you guys don't want to know what ridiculous content slog there's been with New Genesis. I finally dropped it last summer, still checking the news from time to time. Boring events with no real dialogue, bad collabs, story going nowhere (there hasn't been a single new location since the first act finally ended). I have no idea where they're going, but it's not keeping me on board.
Sega is doing the worse out of all the mainstream japanese game companies. Hyenas costed them 100 mill. They gave up on their arcades. All they have are pochinko parlors and they are active with only 4 of their IP's. Sonic, persona, and yakuza. 2 of which, recently, has source/localization problems.
The big studios are just going to churn out endless mediocrity in order to hit financial and ESG targets, that's all they're good for. If they didn't have ESG and outside investment propping them up they'd be out of business by now. They're probably going to start laying people off when the shit hits the fan and people get fed up of them just like all the others. I would not be shocked if even Japanese games companies due to them wanting get into western markets cuck themselves completely.
Freemium games are the devil. The only way to end their ways is to deny them players and scorn them and people that play them every single time they're mentioned.
