Sega

Sega Games Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社セガゲームス Hepburn: Kabushiki gaisha Sega gēmusu), originally short for Service Games and officially styled as SEGA, is a Japanese multinational video game developer and publisher headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Sega used to be a first-party developer and console manufacturer but became a third party developer in 2001.

Why They Rock (Mostly Back Then, Partially Nowadays)

 * 1) Not only have they created game consoles but also many technologically advanced arcade cabinets with games such as Daytona USA.
 * 2) The company has a large variety of unique, creative video game franchises, such as Seaman, "Total War","Yakuza", Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 and their famous one being Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * 3) Sega has created many great games (listed above).
 * 4) Many of their classic games have gotten re-releases.
 * 5) They had creative innovative ideas for their consoles, such as the Dreamcast having a modem to be able to play online (albeit somewhat rudimentary due to limitations at the time) out of the box.
 * 6) One of the few Japanese companies that do not keep their Japanese games exclusive to Japan (at least, most of them).
 * 7) They created the first 3D fighting game, Virtua Fighter, that was so impressive at the time that it inspired Sony to turn the PlayStation into a 3D console.
 * 8) They saved Relic Entertainment from being closed down (mainly due to Jason Rubin, president of the late THQ, and co-founder of Naughty Dog, doing a smart move).
 * 9) They used to be a major competition for Nintendo in the early 90s.
 * 10) Unlike Nintendo, they're more open-minded towards fan games and don't file DMCA claims against them. They even ended up commissioning a group of fans to develop an official Sonic title.
 * 11) During the Genesis/Mega drive times, they allowed their games to be less censored and have blood and gore, unlike Nintendo.
 * 12) They even helped Atlus out of bankruptcy by purchasing their parent company, meaning their games would have been discontinued and Persona 5 wouldn't have been created if Sega didn't purchase Atlus.

Bad Qualities
They suffered from poor management and terrible decisions that led to them making a large number of mistakes. They dropped from the hardware market and they're started to only care about and milk their mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog to death. Because of this, Sega has become noteworthy on Crappy Games Wiki.
