The latest Famitsu interview with Sega’s CEO, Haruki Satomi, generated a lot of interest from Sega fans accross the world. It seems Sega noticed this as well, as both Destructoid and Siliconera received a follow-up statement from Sega’s CEO:
Seeing our fans across the world respond to our recent interview with Famitsu, lets us know we’ve made the right first step in acknowledging who we are and where we want to be. Sega is dedicated to bringing you quality gaming experiences and becoming a brand you love and trust again.” — Haruki Satomi, CEO of Sega Games
It’s interesting to see the CEO of Sega reach out to the fans like this, and we hope it bodes well for the future. While these are still just words, it’s a positive sign to see the CEO reach out to the fans not just in Japan, but around the entire world. His comments directly addressed concerns from the fans regarding the localization of Sega games, and it’s a good sign that Mr. Satomi believes that games from Sega of Japan can also sell well in the rest of the world, as long as the quality is there to meet fans’ expectations. We look forward to see what the new Sega Games has in store for us!
