If Shenmue III doesn't come, I'll turn out just fine, thank you. I want it to come out just as much as you, but I understand it's not life and death, and if a novel or movie came out, I'd be fine, even better if a game did! I still think we'll get it, and I don't yet believe any of this Sammy stuff. A "hostile takeover" would be pretty tough for a pachinko company, wouldn't it?
At least I'd imagine so, but it is pretty conspicuous that all these SEGA guys are leaving nowadays. I won't quit gaming, though. 2D fighters (my favorite genre) continue to be released, and I'm happy with the industry.
