Fucking depressing.
So is the state of arcades these days.
IMO this should get state funding dude, it is Japan’s historical heritage at this point. I honestly can’t believe they weren’t doing ends meet or something, in a country like theirs where video game culture is so strong.
They were mostly turned into shitty gambling places years ago and SEGA doesn’t really exist anymore for almost 20 years… some gambling conglomerate bought them and has been using the name ever since.
What do you mean they don’t exist? I know they have since long gotten away from the hardware market but I’ve seen multiple video game releases over the years either as publishers or developers. Granted most are remakes or sequels of old games, though.
They were bought up by Sammy Corporation (a soulless gambling conglomerate) in 2004.
