should SEGA die if it meant continuing shenmue?

Why people blame Sega so much ?
Its not Sega fault is that parasite called sammy that is stopping Sega to reach its old glory.

I think Sammy should die instead. I really hope it does. That there is some kind of scandal or that Sammy executives especially Hajime Satomi end up in complete ruin.
I hope Japanese would just stop playing pachinko and spend their time and money in something else then Sammy would go bankrupt and it will have no other choice that to sell what is left of Sega.
They really ruined Sega I wish microsoft would brought SEGA instead then we would have had a better chance of having a shenmue sequel with an american company. SegaSammy of Japan does not care much of people opinions that are out of Japan.

I've read a lot about the changes when Sammy took over and it wasn't too pretty. The way they closed and merged teams was extremely detrimental to Sega. Before Sammy, Sega had teams that were largely specialized in a certain genre and they all had their own culture and management styles. Then Sammy comes along and throws together teams who used to make totally different games..to sometimes have them work on another genre. It surprises me that they still managed to kind of continue considering this.

But on topic : I would almost vote yes these days. I would even rather see Sony buy the rights and try to do the series justice as intended by Yu. Which says a lot coming from me since I used to hate the idea, you know early DC/PS2 era and all ... But I actually suspect that Sony could do it justice and make sure that it gets the right attention. I mean, they do support some less commercial games here and there and maybe they could gather some key figures from back then to work on the project?
