It's been a while since I have discussed anything about gaming considering that many of my gaming circle of friends have been long gone. I haven't really needed to think about it due to the amount of work I do in the real world, but having check back periodically at the state of gaming, there seems to be earth-shattering revelations that have been coming up that question the very legitimacy of gaming in it's entirety that has been hard to fathom at best.

Games like Mega Man, Street Fighter, Sonic, Sega-Related Brand, and many other contents seem to have revealings that they may not have been made by the companies that said they developed them...

At some point, companies are showing up and claiming games that are almost 40 years old and stating that they are the developers; I do not know how to take this information if they are the actual developers of these games. I am hoping that at least with Sonic, that it was solely a Sega thing, but at some point, you wonder if it's a continuous problem with expecting that one company could continue to make a long-standing brand without there being some sort of external reliance on other companies.

This would solely explain why there was no solid continuation of the brand over the years if the main gaming companies were not making the brands in an honest effort. The damage done today, if true, would be forever permeated by the fact that many consumers have been straight lied to, and the hopes that it can be repaired are nonexistent at this point.

I'm just disappointed heavily at this point. I'm stunned to the point of disbelief that even for me, it's hard to stomach that another company could have their hands on these primary brands. It's really hard to think that these brands are even accessible.

A lot to think about.
