>Please don't talk about business dealings and financial reports until you've done something in your life besides play video games and watch anime.
I didn't say the loss was due to surplus inventory, I said the loss was because Sega of America's value was re-evaluated after Kalinske stepped down and excess inventory was liquidated. Basically Sega of America was doing shit that made them look like they were doing better than they actually were, and the shit finally hit the fan after Kalinske stepped down.

It's all mentioned in interviews, newspaper articles, and the FY98 report.
> I'll just ignore that the surplus inventory wasn't even written off but sold to Majesco to be rebranded as a Genesis 3
Unsold Genesis 2 systems couldn't have been rebranded as a Genesis 3, the boards are completely different and don't fit in the other case. And Majesco produced carts are significantly lower quality than the original carts produced. So no, it wasn't sold to Majesco. That deal came about in 1998, this write off happened in 1997. If you were alive back then you'd remember when suddenly a bunch of Genesis games started hitting the market dirt cheap. It's also why some games that were overproduced were really common to find cases of sealed on places like eBay back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

This has been well documented for years on the Japanese side in newspaper articles, interviews, etc. from the time. It wasn't really known by those who didn't read them outside of Japan due to obvious reasons. Lately they've been translated.

> that it outsold the Saturn the same year worldwide.
The Genesis 3 came out in 1998 when the Saturn was being discontinued and production halted for the Dreamcast. It wouldn't be that hard to outsell it hardware wise across 3 regions combined. But we were talking about Saturn vs N64 in Japan. But I guess you have to move the goal posts when the sales data doesn't back up your original claims.

Are you samefagging or something? Nobody would bother arguing like this unless they just want to pretend and derail the thread.

Remember to ignore and report shitposters like the guys above.

Well, no, I would generally say to just identify them quietly, and then report and ignore. Oh yeah, that was another guy who was around for a while, "Remember To Report And Ignore." who actually submitted a level to 300 Minutes Of /vr/, so he was actually a good few steps above those other shitters, even if he was spamming.

My point is merely that shitters aren't a new phenomenon around here. Just don't make noise about it like the dumbass who can't shut up about it all the time.

>What are the cons of EE
>the writing of the additional content is generally considered really poor, shoehorned, and might bother your political sensibilities
Solution: Install Disable Enhanced Edition NPCs. Ignore the NPCs.
>they replaced the classic BG movies with some pastel dogshit. They didn't do it for BG2, but the damage is done.
Solution: Install BGEE Classic Movies.
>they forced the BG2 engine into BG1. While a lot of people already played like this (thanks to mods Baldur's Gate Trilogy or BGTuTu or similar), the fact that you don't have a choice to experience BG1 purist content is annoying to some.
Solution: Install vanilla BG1, nothing else to do at this point. You can choose to personally restrict yourself to not playing with kits and dual-wielding since they technically make the game easier, but it's not that big of a deal either way. As a plus, the BGEE kit conversions are properly level-scaled compared to old BGT/TuTu ones, so you no longer dominate and shit on everything as a level 1 Totemic Druid.
>Siege of Dragonspear is a subpar expansion pack.
Solution: Don't buy it and don't install it.
>Although most people report really smooth loading times and crash-free gameplay, there is some particular hardware setup that Beamdog's code absolutely tanks on to the point of unplayability, but I don't remember the specifics.

A common complaint that I vehemently disagree with is that the new EE content is imbalanced, but frankly, nothing in the EE dethrones the usual top-tier NPCs, tactics and class combos.

If you're savvy enough and don't want to give money to Beamdog, the Enhanced Edition experience is more or less the same as
>BGTuTu or BGT
>BG2 Fixpack
>Widescreen Fix,
although the EEs have a few QoL upsides (most notably quick loot pickup).

The biggest mods are compatible with originals and the EEs and to the credit of the modders on Beamdog's payroll (like a lot of the G3 crew) they made it a point to endeavor to keep it that way.

everyone, just remember to ignore and report

Remember to ignore master baiters like >>4200868

Just report and move on.

Remember folks, the "ignore" part of "ignore and report" is the most important part when dealing with shitposters! Arguing with them just shits up the board, and they don't believe what they're saying anyways.

Thank you, and have a nice day, anons!
