However on the similar time, now we have different properties that actually present the type, perspective and context of Sega,” the writer’s America and Europe CEO, Shuji Utsumi, not too long ago informed the Guardian. “I feel players will adore it if we do that proper. It is going to be a problem – there are nice expectations – but when we will reply to that, we will get again to being Sega.”
