Easy answer:

Fuck no. That gave us home ports of Star Wars Arcade and Virtua Racing.

And it divided SoA and SoJ, effectively putting the motions in event towards Sega's ultimate demise.

SOA and SOJ were divided from the beginning. SOJ only relented for a couple of years because Kalinske's plan delivered sales for the Genesis in the US.

Another vote for GAAS and it's monetization, that's where it all went wrong for me.

OK so we know your a games journalist, but who do you work for?

For sure some libtard journo who gets paid to spread wokeness bullshit, indeed xD

technically they were divided beforehand, yes. (galaxy brain)

what I'm talking about is the 32X divided the hardware philosophy of Sega, rather than pulling in one direction with the Model 1 board, things split into the 32X and Saturn, which hemorrhaged a ton of money for Segaga.

Only with the Dreamcast did things come back together, but of course, it was too late.

 

[AJUMP23]

I would destroy the Sony PlayStation for the Nintendo PlayStation.

Just to see what that future looked like.

excessive monetization for me. Once the started removing cheat codes we should have known.

I think this is the point of the exercise, nobody is denying that certain factors at play led to the release of this abhorrent shit. The question is what would you do with the power to erase them.

I would argue that losing ports of Virtua Racing and Star Wars Arcade is a small price to pay if it means that Sega is still a viable contender in the US market. The 32X absolutely destroyed its standing here as well as lost them a good amount of goodwill in the market and among fans. Because hey, if they weren't working on 32X slop they could have done those ports on the Saturn.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Day 1 patches and subsequent patches. Release the game complete.

Windows is also a piece of shit now.

The OS with the best gaming (maybe software in general too) library on the planet is a piece of shit now, sure.

Except that's not true either. Both SOA and SOJ had competing hardware that would become the DC. SOJ won out.

This sentence makes no sense, but ok.

Fortnite... not because of the game.

Rather because of what it did to gaming overall

 

[clarky]

Ok if its not Ass of Can Whooping my second pick would be Resetera for sure.

SOA was developing Black Belt with 3DFX.

SOJ had Dural with Power VR.

SOJ told SOA to suck their dick, and Dural would be their next system. Black Belt ended up in a Konami arcade board.

SoJ won with Dural, thus the home console hardware would be the same across all regions.
That's what I'm saying.

There was no awkward 32X / Saturn-type of situation with the Dreamcast. Segaga settled on the Power VR architecture.

I'm not sure how lucrative Black Belt was, but I find the term to be incredibly racist.

Every money making, suit wearing man?bitch around gaming.

So send Bobby Kotick as an early settler to Mars. Then the whole MS management. Everyone would be happy and proud.

Wish granted...

Roblox is now the biggest game on earth and is now the game featured in multiple shows and movies with collaborations.

Describing them as home ports is pretty vague. Game boy got a home port of mortal kombat.

32X remains the only platform Sega ported their first Star Wars Arcade to.



They never ported the Model 3 game to anything.

I’d destroy Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Does that count? Too bad that’s my choice.

Please don't. The protagonist of that movie did things for me when I was a teenager.

Yes, evil forces must be subdued, although they are sometimes beneficial.

Btw, what have you done Arekusandro?

Easy. MTX.

If that means destroying Oblivion so be it. It was the start of Bethesda dumbing down RPG mechanics anyway. A lot of schools of magic, types of weaponry and layering armors and such were scrapped in the making of Oblivion. Will I miss Oblivion? Hell yeah, I will. It's one of my favorite games and my first experience in modding. However, I make every other game I play better in the future if the practice is destroyed.

Sega's civil war only ended after its near-bankruptcy, but the Japanese branch remained 70% intact while the original SOA disappeared

Shitty games lol

Sonic. We’d lose several terabytes of memes and… nothing else, really.

Nintendo.

So you’d erase the entire video games market as we know it?

Just Nintendo. Others would fill in with actual innovations instead of gimmicks and the biggest cult in gaming would be dead.
