i have a lot more respect for him than most given that fact but its unfortunate because SegaSammy execs really don't seem to care and only get swayed in very rare instances. and they receive almost none of the blame for Sonic's very spotty track record from Heroes to (arguably) Frontiers, either.

Any time I see Sonic fans talk about why Sega hasn't made a Sonic Mania 2 or how they're jealous of Sonic Mania or how fans know better I'm kinda wondering if they think Sega is only a Sonic company (they do believe this) and don't understand the greater SegaSammy Holdings C-suite fuckery.

SegaSammy Holdings is one of those. So while everyone in the west might just know the Sega part as a video game publisher, SegaSammy Holdings as a whole run things like a music label, toy manufacturing, they got a dart board brand, pachislots, a golf resort division, TMS Entertainment, casino games,

Did you know? In 2007, SegaSammy and TMS produced a short television special for Sonic X which had only aired once for Sonic’s 16th anniversary. It’s commonly believed it was made to gouge interest for a continuation.
Only brief clips from Japanese VHS recordings remain.

as somebody who likes Frontiers the fact i more frequently see people punching down on Ian for all of the game's flaws and not the fact SEGASammy was incredibly hard on the team to the point they nearly fired fucking Iizuka-san for requesting a delay saddens me so much.

It's gonna be funny when those new Sega games bomb and at the SegaSammy shareholders meeting they'll say that it turns out nobody cares about their old games and now they're pivoting into whatever new bullshit scam the techbro libertarians cooked up

As I've mentioned before, the SegaSammy IR reports are a great wealth of knowledge if you want to see a rich history of Sega just making bad decisions repeatedly.
Coincidentally, I don't think they even advertised Shinobi. I think maybe like two influencers maybe mentioned it once?

The SegaSammy IR documents are written for shareholders that don't know shit so if you ever wonder what the hell they're talking about don't worry, the people that invest money in the company don't know either.

Folks should also remember that the SegaSammy IRs are, despite being available for public review, are not written for fans or customers or whatever. They are writing those out for shareholders, and so you'd have to follow the past IR reports to see what wacky bullshit they're lying about on the reg.
Ngl I’m kinda suspicious Sega keeps saying that “Crossworlds failed to meet expectations” but are giving no hint to what expectations were because it feels like their expectations might’ve been ridiculous
