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
该公司最初是由两家不同的美国人投币式游戏机公司合并而成:1940 年在夏威夷创建的 Service Games 和 1954 年在日本成立的 Rosen Enterprises。SEGA 这个名字来自 SErvice GAmes。
它最初是一家视频游戏机制造商,后来转向为其他游戏机制作和发布视频游戏。然而,该公司在 2019 年发布了其广受欢迎的 Sega Mega Drive 游戏机的微型版本,其中包含几款内置游戏。
世嘉也是一家主要的街机运营商,在日本拥有几家标志性的街机。由于收入下降,特别是由于 COVID-19 大流行造成的收入下降,他们在 2022 年将街机运营部门完全出售给了 GENDA Inc。所有剩余的 SEGA 品牌街机都将重新命名为“GiGO”徽标(“Get into the Gaming”的缩写)绿洲”)。
