13- Sega embrace “grassroots” games-as-a-service (Source: gamesindustry.biz, Brendan Sinclair)
Sega is no stranger to the idea behind games-as-a-service. As Sega Europe SVP of commercial publishing John Clark pointed out to GamesIndustry.biz at E3 last month, the name “Sega” was conceived as a sort of portmanteau of “Service Games.”
Be that as it may, Sega’s approach to games-as-a-service can be hard to pin down. Some games offer little or nothing in the way of downloadable content (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, Football Manager 2017), while others have enough DLC to double the cost of the game or more (Total War: Warhammer, Football Manager 2017 Touch).
14- THQ kind of disappointed by the Switch’s power (Source: gamesindustry.biz, James Batchelor, Credit to NeoGAF user Nere)
