May or may not affect PO2's future in the states and europe

Sega canceling games, cutting jobs in US and Europe to restructure

Sega's forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31 have been adjusted down -- expected net income is down 47.4% -- and Sega Sammy's board of directors have enacted a drastic plan to reduce operating costs in the future.

Sadly, this plan involves the "streamlining" of Sega's operations in the US and Europe, to "create a smaller company positioned for sustained profitability." There is currently no words on how many jobs are being cut, or where, to create this smaller company.

The plan also includes a narrowing of Sega's lineup, to focus on franchises that the company expects to sell in the US and Europe, including Sonic, Football Manager, Total War, and Aliens. That refocusing means some games have been canceled, though specific titles were not announced.

Segas "extraordinary loss" (caused in part by costs from this restructuring) will see the company's expected profits drop from 38 million yen ($462 million) to 20 billion yen ($243 million,) with sales revenue dipping about a half-billion dollars. The cancellation of these projects and this reform is estimated to have a 7.1 billion yen ($86.5 million) price tag.

Hay.

**AidenCarby** · 2012-03-31 21:31

Expected net income is down so it's something they projected, but they aren't necessarily -losing- money right? Fucking greedy mofo's, I don't care what you do..or how you do it but you better fucking release my shit in US. Also, releasing it in US would boost the fuck out of their numbers, otherwise being some greedy nips and keeping that shit in jpland is a dumb business move.

**Nitsuki** · 2012-04-01 07:01

But if the game is free to dl/play (did i read it correctly at least?) wouldn't it just be worth playing jp if say and english patch were to exist or if it is multi-language like pso?

**darkepyon** · 2012-04-01 07:18

Well there was that screenshot of the config in the alpha with a language select. We'll see if they keep that or not.

**Seiji Okita** · 2012-04-01 07:42

Very nice. Will be nice to see what my PC can handle when it comes to this and then obviously delicious char creation.
