It's a TRAP!
Though seriously, I'm still not sure how this will affect us in the long run- will Sammy and Sega continue producing their separate franchises, will they merge staff? No idea...

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's more of a Sammy takeover.

That almost seems like it would have been the Segaton announcement, but maybe it got held back a bit.

I thought that was the Segaton announcement? What does Segaton stand for anyway?

It's a parody/homage of the "Megaton" announcment that Nintendo was supposed to have a long time ago.

It probably means more Sega branded arcade games on the market, especially in Japan.
I'd be shocked if they made any drastic changes since both companies are presently making money, but they might have some redundancies that could be used to trim costs.

Hah hah, I know, I'm just messing around. Trying not to give up hope, ya know. But I know Sega just dicked us over big time.
