Reinvent......PR slang for "we're going to fire everyone and hire programmers right off school for less than half the money"... One thing is changing your strategy, which is what Nintendo did, and another is reinventing yourself, which is hiring dickwads to make cuts all over the company's budget and staff. In SEGA's case, the dickwads bought the company...
Reinventing yourself in the creative sense is what musicians with any type of longevity have to do. Look at Madonna. I think all of her music sucks shit, but she has made herself over and thrived to sell loads of records in a market that caters to people that demand shittier and shittier tunes. Square is a company that has definitely NOT reinvented itself. It seems to do okay, but they won't be winning any awards. I assume one day, people will quit masturbating to their games and they will shrivel up. Sega actually changed, but for the worse. If they make money, more power to them, but I don't really support them anymore.
I got through eventually, but it took forever for it to load. Now I just need to find a proxy service... (and magic some money onto my credit card)
It's probably getting hammered by all the Ex-Sega Direct users since we all got mails about this new site from Sega on the same day. Bit silly really. Yakumo
I wouldnt be surprised if the problem is their web design. You wouldnt believe the idiots big companies hire to code their sites. BMW sites for example give all kinds of problems with every major browser.
It really is ridiculous. I don't get why those tards get money for shit like that. So many times have I had to go "fix" my grammas computer because some dumbass company won't let her pay her bills, usually because she's on Opera/Firefox and they want IE, and yet they still have probs.
