Around 300 staff are to be offered early retirement following plans to completely restructure Sega’s business.

 

“Local organisations managing packaged game software in Western markets will be streamlined”, the company has said, with its San Francisco already confirmed for closure.

 

Sega intends to alter operations to focus on mobile and online PC games, which it deems to be its growth areas, as well as its Sonic and merchandising businesses.

I'll always remember my Sega Mega Drive.

I actually hope this doesn't affect Sonic's future in the smash bros series.

I just realize that Sega during there agreement with Nintendo should have made a new NiGHTS game for the Wii U, and 3DS.
