@@JustCallMeRaito Haha Good one
Appreciate everything you've done at SEGA Europe. Hopefully things can get better for everyone at the company because I there's so much passion being passed on these games.
Appreciate you for sticking by me and watching the videos 💙
Please pirate sega games
@@ubercomradeyeah no
Sorry to hear that. I do wish you the best for the future as working at SEGA will lead to greater things in life.
I too have dreamt of working at SEGA before. I remembered like visiting the place in London for an interview, and it was a grand experience. It’s sad that many game companies had to layoff staff at this time, even during this year. But I do hope the best for all those affected in finding better pastures.
Thanks so much 💙
Compilation at the end had me tear-eyed
Me too man. I had to walk away multiple times whilst editing
I don't know your channel but I love Sonic and this story is really heartbreaking. As much as you're taking it positively, I must say that this new trend of laying off employees on a big scale is one of the cancer of the videogame industry, and I refuse to believe this is an ethical course of action for a multimillion dollar company. It's just fucking unfair and I think companies should address this brutal behaviour. That being said, this was your dream job and it will forever be a great memorable part of your journey, one you can be really proud of and one from which you can start again. I know this is destructive and you're really hurting right now, I know it's really difficult to find yourself in times like these, but when you'll be ready you will realize that you're still that crazy Sonic guy with an enormous passion and an incredible experience, and your expertise will be a great help for the realization of other awesome games. One thing I get from this video is that you've been proud of what you've done with Sega. You will be proud again. You will help the realization of great games and you'll be proud to have been a part of the company behind them. And you will still be that crazy Sonic guy.
"Nothing starts until you take action. If you have time to worry, then run!"
Big hug man (and a little subscribe). Take care. ❤
I really appreciate everything you've said mate. Thank you 💙
I work a job I hate because I would never want to experience this sort of loss
I'm hearting this because I feel for you, not because I believe that's the way to do it.
If you have dreams chase them. Yeah this hurt at the end but I had the time of my life. Don't let fear of loss control your future, make your own destiny.
As sonic said 'if you have time to worry, then run'!
I've been fortunate enough to have met some wonderful folks from sega europe, it's a tremendous shame that things had to be this way. I was absolutely overjoyed to have played sonic frontiers before release at MCM back in 2022, happy to have been part of sega's charity fundraising for gameblast and pride - and the sonic symphony last year was a revelation. I absolutely feel your heartbreak at not being part of sega anymore, I remember so well my childhood dreams of working for them - and while I never made it there myself, it never ceases to fill me with hope and joy to see that such great people have worked at a company so integral to my identity growing up and subsequently finding myself as an adult. you're clearly no exception to that, and your passion is so evident and genuine that it's impossible to imagine you not going onto ever greater things in future. you mentioned some of the vocal tracks from sonic frontiers... the one that always stood out most in my mind was one way dream; to me, it represents the hope of what's to come, and a person's ability to overcome tragedy and setbacks in pursuit of that. so, keep your head up; you were part of something great, and you'll inevitably take that greatness forward. 😌
Can I ask you a question? What exactly did you guys do at Sega? Like, you weren’t game developers were you? What all other jobs were there at Sega and how involved were they with the creation of games? The most importantly, we have very reliable leakers in the community. Generally, how does this happen?
I don’t know if you or Calamity have the answers. But just thought I would ask.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I was the one who installed that frontiers code! Looking forward to seeing you at next years gameblast 💙
Aw man.... I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you, because in a way I understand what it's like having to leave a workplace with amazing people, where you actually loved going to work, being part of a great team, giving it your all... and suddenly there's something you have no control over that forces you to move on, and it's the most painful thing to deal with, I swear, I am crying right now just hearing about your experience. I cannot IMAGINE how difficult it is, in comparison, since getting a job at SEGA sounds like an absolute dream come true, and it is so unfair and devastating to know that a life long goal can actually come an end like this, when we least expect it. It is heartbreaking 🫂
All I can think of saying is, hang in there. I have a strong feeling you'll get to do something amazing again regarding your passion in the future no matter what, I just know it. Don't lose contact with those who got through this with you, don't lose hope, you'll come back stronger eventually, to anything it may turn out to be 🙌💫💙 and keep listening to those vocal Sonic tracks, absolutely, those lyrics ARE hella powerful :') you got this!!
Please pirate sega games
Thank you so so much for your support. It means the world to me 💙
@@ubercomrade Do us a favour and BE QUIET
hey man I wasnt familiar with your channel but I got this video recommended, wish you the best, you seem like a really genuine guy, been a huge sonic fan too, ever since I played sonic adventure 2 on the gamecube when I was a kid
My favourite game of all time! 💙
Thank you for being so vulnerable with your viewers in regard to your experience with redundancy. Wishing you all the best for the future and I'm sure the future still has amazing things in store for you!
I'll always be honest and open with you guys. This community has been with me for nearly 10 years and I appreciate all of you so much
sonics on the run, sonics number 1
Sonics coming next SO WATCH OUT FOR SONIC X

I found the atmosphere at Sega of Scotland was originally where Sega Europe would be situated at the time of the ZX Spectrum plant was generally better, but its definately much more cut throat in England generally, Sega of France was a subsidery of what was Sega of Scotland, but at the time it had more involvement with ZXS than Virgin Mastertronic.
It's a shame what's happening to this industry. So many dedicated people are losing their jobs. But the industry will heal and things will improve 💙
So sorry to hear about that Hatcher, I got made redundant in the past myself. I got told "don't take it personally" I was like bro I don't have income now what do you mean?
I'm sorry you went through it too 💙 it's hard to not take it personally, but I have to constantly remind myself that nobody at sega wanted this. They lost talented people and it wasn't by choice. It still hurts though
@@CalamityHatcher Definitely understandable we got you. Can't wait for your content 😁
10:59 Hearing that your grandmother got annoyed with reruns of Sonic X made me smile.
21:07 Aww bless. When that G.U.N agent said "over fifty years" during Sonic 2's mid-credits scene, I said "Yes?" expectantly.
While it is disappointing that you don't work at SEGA Europe anymore, be grateful that you were able to at all while you move forward.
I screamed when I heard the 50 years haha
I hope the channel pops off and you get better man! So sorry to hear about this.🙏 keep pushing!
Thank you so much mate 💙
The only way from here is up. You got this bro.
To new horizons!
Sorry to hear that, hope things get better from here. Hopefully things can get better for everyone working for SEGA Europe. 💙
Thank you mate. Yeah I'm hoping everyone's ok too
Wait you worked at sega.?!?!?!, that's awesome, it's sucks that you got fired, I'm sure you'll find something even better that's somehow still related to sonic in the future tho, never give up 🙏🏿
We never give up!
I feel so sorry for you. I hope you have an amazing rest of your life it's so sad what could happen so soon
Thank you 💙
Whatever goes on, Sonic's got your back !
I've never even heard of this channel, but I'm really rooting for you ! And who knows... Maybe one day I'll get to be there as well.
I wish you the best with it as sega is a great place to work 💙
Sega layed off a bunch of US workers a while back too.
Unfortunately it's happening everywhere in the games industry :/
Thank you for all of your work at Sega over the past few years! it's a real shame that you were placed on the chopping block however unfortunately that's just how business rolls but please hold your head high because you've been apart of a wonderful workspace, team and you've changed lives by aiding Sega thanks again and I wish you a positive and bright 𝙁𝙐𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀!
Thank you so much mate 💙
It's really sad, man. Perhaps you shouldn’t despair and can try to get an interview in other divisions of Sega Summy? As a last resort, try to get your dream job again and again, every year. Isn't that what blue blur teaches us? Never give up!
I don't want to believe that this is the end of story. Keep trying! Moreover, you have experience.
(Sorry, I'm partially using Google Translate)
Unfortunately no hiring for the foreseeable future!
Hang in there. 💙💙💙
You too 💙 thank you for sticking by me
Please pirate sega games
Oh man sorry to hear that. I do wonder in this situation would it still be possible to apply again a few years down the line? Unless you dont want to anymore which is fair
It should be yes. Things are moving forward for me so at the moment I'm looking to the future!
Such an awesome cap. I had a Sonic Snapback but lost it. But you're awesome, keep it up yo.
Thank you mate, that means a lot. If I see the cap on sale anywhere I'll post a link here!
It's weird to see people loving to work at video game studios like Sega, NIntendo, and Sony, And here I was thinking "I'm making my own video game studio and company instead", while I was in 4th/5th grade in 2007 (yeah, I was the type of person whom would have made my own film studio, video game, music record, archival/preservation, and theme park divisions and companies back in 2007, not knowing the Financial collapse of 2008 was around the corner at that time in the mid to late 2000s)....So seeing people laid off like this sucks, but again, I do think there is a huge culture shift going on, as well as I think a huge recession in the entertainment industries so, the growth of these companies are starting to pop, and stockholders/stakeholders should reconsider what they wish to invest versus what would be great in the long term....It sucks man, but it's why I would prefer to find a backup job if nothing else...But I hope this inspires you to make your own video game company in the near future, or find another one similar to the ones you worked at Sega and such.
As a person whom has known Sega back in the 2000s, yeah, Sega itself was already a fledgeling company by the time that I got into video games in 1999/2000 at the age of 3/4 years old. So it's safe to say that Nintendo and Sony were safe bets, and now, Nintendo is the one that's stable the most, while Microsoft, Sony, and Sega are struggling....It sucks, but things happen and decisions made at the top board of directors don't make the best decisions despite the stacks against them every single day, every single week, every single year...
Best job I ever had mate
@@CalamityHatcher I can see that just from watching this video, but I'm one of those people that would join a company like this as a starting point, and eventually go on my own merry way down the road. It's the same for me with my DJ job, but I tend to be flexible in whatever job I can find at this point.
@@SuperFlashDriver id defo love to dabble in creating my own project at some point (outside of doing UA-cam) and I'm sure I will in time. Just might take me a while
I've been a Sonic fan since around 2015, and have since gotten well acquainted with the franchise and have placed it above Mario as my favorite franchise. Since then, I've also become more acquainted with the other franchises Sega has made, like Nights into Dreams, Super Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, Persona, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, etc. and I have such a deep appreciation of the company and who works there and what they do and what great things they make. Frontiers is the best 3D Sonic game since Black Knight, and I'm sure I'm speaking for a lot of people when I say that. That's why it breaks my heart to hear that. I acknowledge that what happened wasn't your fault, but it still kind of saddens me that somebody who legitimately had a genuine passion for their job suddenly got fired and had to clarify that the event wouldn't affect their opinions, ye they're still a fan of what Sega does. I honestly feel bad for you.
It'll take more than these layboffs to knock my spirit. Sonic taught me that 💙
On the one hand it’s very sad to be made redundant, but on the other opens up new possibilities. Try to look at it like this; you’ve worked for THE SEGA, the company who you love and who has produced many things you enjoy. I can imagine that it’s a bit of a double-edged sword as your hobby and passion reminds you of a difficult time, but good times are ahead!
Exactly my friend. We keep moving forward!
I don't know your channel too well, but I'm sorry you got laid off. It really sucks when its your dream job. I hope you will find some happiness again; and still talk about Sonic and other games.
I appreciate you checking out the channel 💙 plenty of content to cone
I'm sorry about your misfortune. I wish you well going forward. One door closes, others shall open. Don't let it get you down. :)
Thank you for your support 💙
It's sucks that they let's you go, At least you experienced dream jobs & you enjoyed to the fullest. Most people wanted to work at companies like Nintendo, Sony & Sega but you was chosen at the right time. I wish you the best of luck. Enjoy Future!
I wouldn't trade the memories I've made for the world! Thank you for the kind words 💙
😢 Aw... this mad me sad. I hope they get you back one day.
Me too, but everything happens for a reason. I'm enjoying my new job and we move forward 💙
funny or rather sad i just found out. one of the people i looked up to. the person who made spooky's house of jump scares is not as good as i once thought.. which depressed me enough into making me give up on being a video game developer
Never give up
@@CalamityHatcher here's the thing.. i have to since the one of the reasons i want to be a game developer turned out to be a lie or.. not as i wanted it to be
just FYI spooky's creator is not evil.. they are a cool dude and is kind.. i just. found out a they support something i hate with every quirk of ,y being aa sad as it is.. i have no choice but to give up
What is the music in the background
History from sonic mega collection plus
what projects did you work on? while at sega
I was installing fake code for a lot of our titles at game shows like Total War, Two Point Campus, Endless Dungeon, Sonic Frontiers and Superstars
thank you for the response
Think of it as an oppurtunity to do your own thing. rise above them. it sucks that they fired you but at the end of the day its their company not yours
I wasn't fired 🤣
Hugs
Much appreciated
Please pirate sega games
💙
Till next gameblast!
I hope you can do an indie project or mAke a fangame someday man ❤
I'd really love to start building my first game. Defo gonna take the time to start learning a few things
@@CalamityHatcher you should do that while you're working multi task.
It’s a shame you loss your job. I hoping you can found a new job. Sadly has become the new common so many video game companies having layoffs.
Already got a new job and I'm doing well thanks man :)
Not to be rude but you really worked at sega?? If so, i feel bad you got laid off
Please pirate sega games
@@ubercomrade what makes you say that?
Yeah dude for the past 2 and a half years
I will start pirating sega games from now on
I don't advocate that. A lot of talented people work hard on these titles!
Sucks, but Sega haven't been the same company since the death of the Dreamcast, which was an unnecessary one.
All Sega had to do was one thing - include a DVD ROM drive.....that was literally it.
It surprises me not that a company like this could throw people in the trash if that's how they generally go about their business.
I grew up loving Sega, but knew it was over 23 years ago.
If it's any consolation, the hire and fire culture isn't just limited to Sega, this is generally where everything is going now. These big corporations don't care, they're just here to squeeze every drop of juice out of their employees and discard them like old gum when they believe they've extracted everything they need out of them.
To be fair the company has been producing some really high quality stuff in recent years. Unfortunately I believe chasing the live service model has cost them dearly, like everyone else in the industry.
@@CalamityHatcher The sad thing is, I've never really cared for the live service thing, I'm a firm believer in quality offline games first and much prefer in person multi-player with your friends, rather than squaring off against complete randoms online.
Sega innovated so much, but in the end perpetuated their own downfall by being non-committal and ironically playing catch up.
Thanks for sharing, hoping it’s onwards and upwards from here, earned a sub 🫡
I appreciate that, thank you 💙
