Sega Boycott~

[owsf2000]

Ok, it's been over 3 weeks now and the DLC issues for the Hatsune Miku game are still not fixed for the NA store. Personally they won't even grace me with a reply to my emails, although apparently they're replying to some other people - although all they're telling them is that there's no update and not even an ETA for when they expect the issue to be resolved.

I've been fuming enough as it is at the excessive DLC whoring Sega's put into this game to begin with, so the fact that they have so much DLC that they can't even get the damned shit released properly is just the straw that breaks the camel's back.

No more. Not any game whatsoever. I don't even give a shit if there's no DLC released on the game or if Sega's CEO swears to me in person that the game will never have DLC added to it. I'm not purchasing another game by Sega. The level of this personal boycott is at the level of Sony Music Boycott. They could try to PAY me to take their games and I'll chuck it back at them. I'll probably still keep the money but yeah, their games will be tossed back at their feet!

What does this mean to Sega? It does mean that they'll be losing money. Will they notice? No. They'll just assume there's an extra pirate out there or something rather than them losing a paying customer over their bullshit.

What does this mean to me? I get to keep a few extra hundred dollars a year for other things! Will -I- notice? Fuck yeah.

And that's all that matters to me.

In other news, my own game is moving along nicely. :p

Boycotting Sega should be especially easy to do nowadays, given that they, too, have apparently turned their focus to mobile trashware (https://www.google.com/search?num=100&site=&source=hp&q=sega+mobile+focus&oq=sega+mobile+focus&gs_l=hp.3...403.2666.0.2842.18.15.0.3.3.0.158.1497.8j7.15.0....0...1c.1.64.hp..2.16.1351.0.5pjclmgKs4Q), similar to Konami (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/771054.html) and Square Enix (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/771086.html) (and likely many others that I just don't know or care about). And they did it several months before the other two, though I didn't hear about it back then for whatever reason. I guess it just goes to show how very little I already cared about Sega by that point. In any case, them shifting focus to mobile/PC could also explain why they're not in any hurry to bother to fix problems on the console side of things.

I hope the trend keeps up. The devs are going to end up getting their just deserts as they're laid off by the hundreds because they only need a couple programmers to make a trashware game to bring in millions of microtransaction machines.
