Wow, something about that sounds mighty familiar...

It goes on saying that it was an identical predicament that YOU-KNOW-WHO went through after the Virtual Boy :P

Anyways, SEGA backed off on the deal because they knew something like this would happen if they merged with Sammy. Well, Sammy performed a hostile takeover and it came true.

Sonic Mega Collection for GameCube and PS2 used another slightly modified fan emulator (DGen to be particular) for presentation of the games.

"lawl fan emulator" comments aside, this is probably the most interesting piece of the article. Always wondered what emu they used in Mega Collection.

It's worth the read. It does explain a lot, including the probable main reason why there are so many bugs in Sonic '06.

Dear Lord in heaven above...

This explains everything. Well, I never knew about Sammy before, but I hate them now. If there was only some way that another company could buy them out of Sammy. By "another company" I mean one that actually knows what Sega really is (or was) about and would let them take care of themselves for the most part *coughNintendocough*. However, this will never happen, if it's even legitimately possible. Now that Sega and Sammy have been merged for some time, is it even possible to separate them?

Edit: Better yet, if someone could just buy Sega Sammy as a whole, then Sammy at least wouldn't be able to tell Sega what to do anymore with a little restructuring.
