Bury them in New Mexico next to E.T. where they belong.

Sonic Jam is nothing more than a tech demo contained in a disc of Genesis ports.

Sonic Adventure would not have happened without the power afforded by the Dreamcast.

>Game Informer published a similar article, which quoted others expressing their sentiments, including Vince Desi of Running with Scissors who had this to say "Bernie was a low-key guy. He kept his ego in check. I’ve known Bernie for a long time, and I’ve never heard him raise his voice. He was a gentleman in an industry where there really aren’t many."

>Sega spent way too much money fucking around with stupid shit like the 32X that did nothing but cannibalize Saturn sales
>Sega also spent too much money on niche hardware like a bulky handheld Genesis called the Nomad which was not profitable
>Sega spent too much money on bleeding-edge arcade games mass-produced with state-of-the-art military simulation hardware (these games were very successful, but not globally like Sega may have anticipated)
>botched Saturn launch by having a higher price than the PS1, having a surprise day-and-date release with E3 years before viral marketing was a viable business strategy with the advent of social media and pissed-off retailers and devs in the process
>Saturn never really recovered from its poor launch since there was no killer-app with mass-market Western appeal, while Sonic X-Treme crashed and burned like the Hindenburg and Bernie was like "lol the Shiturn fucking sucks, don't buy one" at E3, losing Sega tons and tons more money in the process
>Dreamcast did not have a DVD player like the PS2 did, making it a less-enticing long-term investment like the PS2 was to normies in spite of its weaker software lineup up to that point, and the Dreamcast would need to be the fastest-selling console of all time just to break even and recoup Sega's losses from their mid-90's hardware which was unrealistic to say the least
>Sega also spent way too much money on the incredibly-ambitious Shenmue which was not profitable regardless of your feelings on the game itself it's a very good game imo but it didn't have much mass-market Western appeal

Part of me admires Sega's willingness to take risks, but they were far too reckless and arrogant with their business decisions to the point they likely would've crumbled like a crouton even if the PS2 didn't exist and people would just blame Nintendo or the Xbox instead.

From the Genesis...

To... well, you know...

Because it was an overpriced turd that developers and retailers hated dealing with and only appealed to stinky weaboos.
