sega
Sega Corporation (株式会社セガ Kabushiki gaisha Sega), pronounced /ˈseɪɡə/ (US/Canada/UK/New Zealand/Australia) and usually styled as SEGA, is a Japanese multinational video game developer, publisher and hardware development company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with various offices around the world.
The company started as the merger of two different coin-operated game machine companies made by Americans: Service Games created in Hawaii in 1940 and Rosen Enterprises founded in Japan in 1954. The name SEGA comes from SErvice GAmes.
Originally a maker of video game consoles, it later shifted into just creating and publishing video games for other game consoles. However, in 2019 the company published a miniature version of their popular Sega Mega Drive console with several built-in games included.
SEGA is the creator of the popular Sonic franchise.
Since 2013, it is the parent company of fellow publisher Atlus.
SEGA was also a major arcade operator and owned several iconic arcades in Japan. Due to declining income, especially caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, in 2022 they completely sold off their arcade operations division to GENDA Inc. All remaining SEGA branded arcades to be rebranded with the "GiGO" logo (short for "Get into the Gaming Oasis").

Official hompages
该公司最初是由美国人制造的两家不同的代币操作机器公司的合并：1940年在夏威夷创建的服务游戏和1954年在日本成立的Rosen Enterprises。SEGA这个名字来自服务游戏。
它最初是视频游戏机的制造商，后来仅转向创建和发布其他游戏机的视频游戏。但是，该公司在2019年发布了其流行的Sega Mega Drive控制台的微型版本，其中包括几种内置游戏。
SEGA还是一位主要的街机操作员，在日本拥有几个标志性的街机。由于收入的下降，尤其是由1922年的共同大流行造成的，他们完全将其街机业务部门卖给了Genda Inc.。所有剩余的Sega品牌街机都将重新品尝“ Gigo”徽标（缩短了“进入游戏Oasis oasis oasis”）。
