SeGa is short for Service Games. Japanese initials include the next vowel sound when written. A lot of the arcade and videogame scene in Japan was Servicemen importing stuff so other servicemen could have stuff from home. Jukeboxes, games, speaker systems, and more arrived in random Japanese bars. It proved lucrative with the Japanese themselves and grew from there.
SeGa was the king of arcades in Japan for a long time. Old electro mechanical stuff was their pride and joy. The arcade cabinet started from the idea of the moveable EM machines. SeGa designed that idea.
Arcades and gambling often go hand in hand. The various organizations often worked together or were straight up from gambling companies. SeGa, Konami, Capcom and others all have a Gaming division, a console department, and an arcade department.
Sadly, a lot of that history can't be fully told. SeGa had no problems using mob tactics to get what they wanted. It was easier to say which companies didn't do that. Anyone interviewed often went by anonymous sources or wouldn't name who threatened them directly.
The 90's console wars were on the backs of the arcade wars, and SeGa was king in arcades. I still love their more modern games. Rosen was just a guy who got out of the service and started a company he probably had been running unofficially beforehand.
Yeah, Sega I heard isn't doing well these days. I think I even heard that Atlus is one of the only things keeping them in business (and Metaphor Re Fantazio seems to be their newest money maker), but I feel I should take those words with a grain of salt.
The president of SeGa Amusements recently passed away, and companies like Wahlap have definitely stepped into the arcade market. Gambling and gacha games are doing well enough. At one point SeGa had a theme design and building company. They worked with Universal to create GameWorks. There were semi theme park areas even as recent as 2019 in Japan.
We tend to look at consoles only and don't realize how big the market actually is. But even then, SeGa is not up to its glorious self.

Is this line suggesting that the origins of Japan's arcade culture was from imported electronics brought to the island to amuse US troops occupying there?
Stuff like pinball machines and electro-mechanical shooting galleries? Those old EM machines are so fascinating when you get to see what's inside them.
And more. They dominated the late sixties and early 70's to become the big name in arcade. The company even made a semi standardized box with viewer so games could be right next to each other. This was early JAMMA stuff. In Japan, SeGa was king of the arcade.
We can despise Israel's influence over the Western world without hating every Jew. There is no contradiction or hypocrisy in that, unless you conflate the actions of that random middle-Eastern country as being beneficial to, and representative of, every Jew across the world.
The problem is that it seems like a majority of Jews do support and endorse Israel's actions and subversion of our society, despite most of them never having stepped foot in that country. They seem to consider that country's success as their own success, and possibly as a fallback if they are ever banished from their current country. They seem to have more loyalty for Israel than any nation they reside in, to feel more kinship towards them than their own countrymen. And more often than not, that attitude seems to manifest in a gleefulness in sabotaging Western nations, if it benefits Israel somehow.
If there were fewer Jews who seem to exhibit the exact behaviour I mentioned above, then it wouldn't be anywhere near as much of an issue, and there would be far fewer generalizations about them.
You do not get to claim to know what the rest of us here believe. I am convinced that the majority of people here would be perfectly willing to consider the individual, rather than the whole. The problem is that there is a significant pattern of behaviour, and one that cannot be ignored. We have been burned by subversive elements too often. But if a Jew acts like an honest, loyal citizen, then he will be treated as one. If a Jew acts in a way that opposes Israel, it will not be dismissed.
I didn't know SEGA was co founded by an american. It would explain the considerable american influence Sonic had, at least...
Regardless, I hope he rests in peace.
a) jewish... https://img.gvid.tv/i/qxYERj8Q.jpg
b) Sega is a Hebrew word... https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7680.htm
Sonic/sonus - "sound"...a jew manipulates sound by shaping words within it, which is called spell-craft.
Rosen is not an American surname.

We owe him and his company a lot.
That's interesting to know!

Yes, yes it does.

It's like a mad scientist experiment inside of them.
SeGa created stuff like

Copying my post from the Gaming board.
Sega means wank in Italian, so...
That's it. That my contribution to the thread. I regret nothing.

Oh be quiet. You claim everything that goes against your retarded worldview is subversion.
Pot, meet kettle.
Proving my point.
Hmm, wonder if that's why humans were the bad guys in Sonic?
