Sega confirms closure of Racing Studio

Publisher ‘regrettably’ admits decision to shut Sega Rally developer is part of Western review

Sega has confirmed yesterday’s report on Develop that it has closed its racing studio.

Next-Gen was the first site to report on a statement to the press from the publisher.

It reads:

‘Regrettably Sega today announced that it is to commence consultation regarding the unfortunate closure of the Sega Racing Studio in Birmingham, UK.

‘The decision is part of a review of Sega’s Western Development Studios to ensure that each studio is a profitable entity in its own right, and unfortunately the Sega Racing Studio’s 5 year plan would not result in a successful return for the Sega business moving forward.

'Sega would like to stress that there will be no changes within their other internal development studios.’

They'll never learn.

Idiots.

Sega Rally was a good game, on every platform it was released.

Sega Racing Studio was good.

Sega's marketing was POOR.

They should cut a few heads here, instead of closing skilled studios.
