Sega has announced plans to cancel a number of games in development, close more than a hundred arcades and lay off approximately 18 percent of its workforce.

 

Have they mentioned which games ther're cancelling?

 

If they're closing some Japanese arcades - Baggsie some of the cabs.

 

As long as they don't touch the Creative Assembly and their Total War series, I'm fine.
Can't wait until Empire: Total War!

 

Fancy seeing you here!

The thought of them ending up in a skip because of lack of space in Japan makes me feel ill. Hopefully someone will have the resources to get a few containers full over this way.

 

Fair enough, tbh. If things aren't making money, get rid. I wish the Japanese ethos of 'you work for us, you're with us for life' were true though.. doesn't seem so these days. The Sonic brand carries a lot of weight, if only the more recent games were better than average.
