“Limited Number of Redundancies Expected” At SEGA Europe
For those who thought the developing news with SEGA was limited to just North America, unfortunately, you’d be wrong.
Eurogamer has just reported on Twitter that SEGA of Europe is expecting to have a “limited number” of redundancies. A redundant, in the world of business, is a layoff.
In an update to the article they linked to, they elaborate more”
“We are under consultation with a limited number of staff in the European publishing business and will be able to confirm decisions regarding any potential redundancies in the coming weeks,” a spokesperson said.
The statement suggests UK-based Sega-owned developers Creative Assembly and Sports Interactive should emerge relatively unscathed from parent company Sega Corp’s global restructuring plan.
The explanation confirms that Creative Assembly and Sports Interactive are supposed to be unaffected by the restructuring. We’ll keep you updated on more as we get it.

Rise of Lyric, you’re a fucking monster. You just can’t stop destroying, can you?
You do realize that Sega was going under long before Rol release.
Oh please, Sonic and the series has been irrelevant for years now. I’d say since Unleashed.
Just because Sonic fans claimed that Colors and Generations “saved the franchise” doesn’t make it true. Those games only sold between 2.5 million and 3 million, that’s not a whole lot in the gaming industry. That’s almost nothing. Especially when compared to other games (ie: GTA), that sell 20+ million over the course of a few months. Sonic is an ant compared to those franchises.
And now, thanks to Lost World and Boom, both of which have sold under 1 million and Boom selling under 100k (so I hear), Sega has not reaped in enough profits. This was all inevitable. Sega should have listened to their fans and stopped experimenting long ago.
It’s almost too silly how someone thought that having 3 Wii U exclusive titles in a row was a good idea.
It was absolutely ludicrous. I don’t know who signed Sega on board for the 3-exclusive deal with Nintendo, but that person is the MAIN person who needs to be fired. That decision was death.
I couldn’t care less about SEGA of Europe seeing now how SEGA of America was abused.

We’re currently sitting on 30 signatures at the Stephen Frost petition. Please guys, you know how well and how much Frost has helped the community. His enthusiasm and undying dedication to the series helped us get where we are today. Without him being there, I know all the games, whether bad or good in your book, would have turned out much worse. Just take a moment to fill out the petition. While you’re at it, also share it from the same page. Consider it your good turn for the day, good karma or brownie points. Visit this link now and help make Frost’s day (and year):

Just as clarification to everyone here wondering about the Stephen Frost petition:
https://www.change.org/p/sega-keep-stephen-frost-at-sega-of-america
We are making a statement here: we, as their own customers, care for their own employees more than SEGA themselves. That is just to openly go out and prove how very insensitive and out of touch (the non-politically correct term others would use is “evil”) of a corporation SEGA truly is.
Yes, we are helping Steven Frost out which is the primary focus here, but the overall theme or lesson to be learned is that this should not be happening to begin with. To be quite frank, the more publicity and signatures this petition gets, the more greedy, racist and heartless we make SEGA out to be.
Accomplishing either goal is a win-win in my opinion. Besides, employees knowing we really do care for them in spite of their employer’s lack of competence makes those employees realize we are in it for more than a game alone–we value them and their hard work. In the end, we will earn their mutual friendship and trust as a result.
