message: The previous article was simply an indiscriminate collection of information, so let me explain what has happened.  I've merged the R&D Studios section to Sega and deleted the video game developer section due to its content of original research.  The franchise list has come here and still needs work.

message: Yeah, this list has a rather loose definition of the word "franchise." By its own definition, any and all of Sega's games can be considered "franchises", even those with only one game. That makes zero sense. If that's the case, then this would be no more than a list of all Sega games. This list should at least be brought in line with List of video game franchises, which only allows links to series pages. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Isn't After Burner II part of the After Burner franchise?  If so, I think that Mega Drive/Genesis should be included under 'Platforms'.
I am new to the editing part of Wikipedia, and I don't want to violate any rules by editing the article.

message: What about Disney-based Illusion series? It had a lot of games on Mega Druve and Master System, and even 2013 remake by Sega.
Of course, Sega don't own Disney characters, but it also do not own Bleach franchise, that included in this list.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BullyTB (talk • contribs) 14:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Any reason why recent Atlus games are not listed?, Atlus became a Sega subsidiary on September 2013, I think at least all Atlus games released since then should be listed here --2601:647:4700:9A70:888B:5953:513:ED76 (talk) 08:49, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, note that many sources, such as Metacritic, continue to treat Sega and Atlus as separate brands—which makes perfect sense, considering that Atlus TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 21:04, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, not sure why people want to act like they should fully merge into Sega; it's a distinct brand with separate history prior to 2013 who kept all the of core staff in the buyout. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Seriously, this whole list is a mess. More than half of the entries are only standalone games with dozens of ports, and are not even close to franchises. There really outta be some kind of inclusion criteria, as right now all of Sega's video games, regardless if they have had sequels or not, could be added here. Thoughts?

replies: text: I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you are kinda missing the point. Video game lists are practically essential in my eyes, I just dislike the mess that this article is. Namcokid47 (talk) 14:52, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I disagree, because they always seem to cause one issue or another. For example, your very topic of whatever a series is important enough to belong on the list or not. What decides that besides if it has a dedicated article on it, no matter how badly written? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 19:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I would still think that "list of company game pages" are practically essential, as they prove to be an easy and sophisticated way of accessing pages instead of searching or skimming through tons of categories.Namcokid47 (talk) 03:08, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
