:?

digitalrex is 100% SEGA's subsidiary. SEGA's already decided to create Yu-san's new studio,
tentatively named Cinematic Online Games, in July, 2003, and it opened on Oct. 1 as digitalrex.

Sammy bought the stocks of SEGA merely in December, 2003.

Damnit Silas! You and your damn realisticness!

Oh, great, Sammy's CEO is the chairman of SEGA now. That's wonderful. Can't wait for all the new packinko games.

What's Sammy's reason for this, I bet it's for money involved like it always is.

Does anyone even still play at arcades? All the ones by me are dead.

There aren't any by me, so I guess that's a little different.

Honestly, it's time to let it go already, there's no reason why the continuation of the saga would be a priority at Sega. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they'd probably end up losing money on another shenmue-title.

I for one strongly believe that Shenmue III will never see the light of day, not in game form anyway.. I reckon they'll just put out the rest of the script on their website just to shut the fanbase up. or who knows, perhaps they'll make anime out of the remaining plot? Well, i guess that's my two cents :roll:
