Atlus bought by SEGA

[Dork]

I thought that was just for Sonic games.

Ah, your right, woopsies.

Damn
Why fucking SEGA?!

I don't see what's the problem.
If Atlas were bought by Nintendo, we'd get no Persona.
If they were bought by Sony, we'd get no SMT.
If they were bought by Square-Enix, they'd be making iOS games.
All that's left is for them not to be bought by anybody and go bankrupt.
I don't see why Sega gets all the hate, they basically saved Atlas and its IPs.

That wouldn't be true...
SMT3 was on a Sony console.

And if Sony or Nintendo were to have gotten them, who's to say that one of those two would tell them to stop making one side of their flagship series?

Well, yeah, but that'll make drastic changes in release platforms, which I think neither Atlus, nor its fans will like. Still worse than Sega buying them.

Shin Megami Tensei 5 featuring Sanic from Sanic the Hedgehog series

Sanic? Is this Sega's mascot with a new name? Or did you mean it to be pronounced like Saw?

Shin Megami Tensei 5 featuring Sanic from Sanic the Hedgehog series

Yeah it'll be just like when Capcom owned Atlus and they put Dante in SMT3. Oh wait...

Want to see what SEGA does to franchises they buy?

Have a look at Rome 2....

Have another look at Football manager...

It is obvious...

Megami Tensei is a franchise. Atlus is a company. I don't know either of those two games, but from the context it seems like you're saying they suck. And that's not gonna happen to Atlus' games.

Well, you are obviously a console gamer, it surprises me that you don't know at least the Total War series...

The Total War series is a major PC strategy game series, and its developer was bought by SEGA, and then they began dumbing down the series until their recent Rome 2 being a complete joke.

The Football Manager is the best sports management simulation series and SEGA bought them and they began destroying the franchise...

SEGA is an Arcade company. Doesn't understand PC games, doesn't understand Deep games, doesn't understand long games.

You will see what they will do to Atlus and their games in a couple of years...

Before this deal happened, Index owned Atlus. Atlus ran independently. As far as we know the same thing will happen here. It's not like all of the sudden SEGA will start actually developing MegaTen games. We might get some SMT items or costumes in a sega property like Phantasy Star Online 2, but most likely not the other way around.

edit: The reason we can't know is Sega Dream, underneath Sega Sammy, bought the company. Not Sega the company behind releasing shit sonic games. We don't really know anything about Sega Dream, it's new.

SEGA's distribution network?

Please tell me localization won't be up to SEGA.
