SEGA Is Canceling Games And Cutting Jobs

SEGA Is Canceling Games And Cutting Jobs

None

Bad financial news for SEGA has hit the Internet today. Their forecasts for the fiscal year are down. Their net income is down an incredible 47.4%, which can be attributed to poor game sales. As a result, SEGA has decided to cut operating costs, and this usually means cutting jobs.

To get the company back on track, Sega Sammy’s board of directors will “streamline” the company to only focus on titles that will sell well in the US and Europe. This includes titles such as Sonic, Total War, and Aliens. Oh yes, and apparently Football Manager as well. This means that we will likely see fewer random action games and third-person shooters coming out of the studio.



Some games will be canceled and some jobs will be lost, but specific details on the process have not yet been given. All we know is that SEGA is attempting to “create a smaller company positioned for sustained profitability.” Interpret that how you will.
