So we knew it was coming, even with all those delays and rumors, it finally happened. Sammy has purchased Sega for $1.4 billion. The new company will be called Sega Sammy Holdings. Now Guilty Gear and Virtua Fighter will be under one roof.

*bursts out laughing* You have to admit the company name is sure weird, I can already picture: "Hey dad, could I have some money for a Sammy Sega Holdings game?" "And this month's top selling game is Sammy Sega Holding's Sonic Heroes" *cracks up some more*
For the most part I couldn't care less about the merge, but if Sammy pressures Sega to leave the console business for the arcade industry, I'll have to add Sammy to my personal hit list  |

| The merge COULD be better, maybe we'll get sonic games with better plots? I prefer the SA2 style plot myself...Maybe a bigger one with more stuff would be nice with a better story too...Hmm but I dunno much about sammy in the first place except that Guilty Gear OWNZ |

A while ago I thought Sammy was a dumb nickname for Sega 
I can't see future Sega games with "Sega Sammy" on them. It just sounds wrong. SquareEnix, now that worked out well. |

I might be misunderstanding the article...but I think it says that "Sammy Sega Holdings" is just what they'll be called on the stock market. I think the respective games will still be either 'Sammy' or "sega'...but I dunno...

I hope so, but it probably isn't likely, I mean take a look at Squarenix, but at least Squarenix sounds okay.

Take a look at the Sega Sammy Holding's logo:
I miss the old Sega logo already  |

I like the new logo, especially how they bridged the two A's together with that arch... really nice. I'm also glad that Sega will merge all their developers together.

they're going to have to fire some people if they do do that.
Sega still gets to keep it's name right? Sega-sammy is the name of the parent company, right? So we still get hear seeeeeegaaaaa and sega (said really fast) in video games, right? |
