Key people needs updating in the infobox

Based on Shuji Utsumi's promotion. But I don't really get what's changed here or if the previously listed people are in new roles, so I'm hoping someone else can figure it out instead. Popcornfud (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When the next fiscal year end report comes out will probably be a good primary source for this. If I recall correctly their fiscal years end at the end of March, so it may be a couple of months. Red Phoenix talk 15:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. We should probably at least update Utsumi's title, since that's known, right? Popcornfud (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With a source, yes of course. Red Phoenix talk 23:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added the info + source to the body earlier this week. I've gone ahead and added the info to the infobox too, and I removed the two other guys listed there, as leaving them in the infobox would be self-contradictory. Popcornfud (talk) 15:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sega internal development divisions

There has been a lot of confusion, in regards to the pages for Sega's internal development divisions in Japan, for CS1 (original AM11/R&D4/AV/NE) and CS2 (original CS3/Saturn-era CS3/R&D8/Sonic Team Ltd./GE1) (both brand names (RGG Studio and Sonic Team) are used whenever Sega makes a Like a Dragon/Yakuza or Sonic the Hedgehog game, for all other projects done by the CS branches (as in non-Sonic/Yakuza games, such as Super Monkey Ball games), the Sega name is solely used. In regards to the last surviving development studio within Sega Fave (AM1), most all of Overworks and WOW Entertainment's history is there despite starting life as two separate Sega divisions (original CS2/R&D7 and original AM1/R&D1) before gaining their studio names during the 2000s and their consolidation back into the Sega fold in 2004. There also the AM3 page which combines info from Hitmaker (original AM3/R&D3) and Sega Rosso. The question is how can we organize this, to specify division name and to avoid this mess in the future?

However, the reason why Sonic Team and RGG Studio are used as brand names rather than official division names is that the divisions can work on other non-Sonic/Yakuza projects but only under the Sega banner. VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 18:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004:As I’ve said on the other talk pages you’ve posted this to, where is your source on this? And not “the logo isn’t on a website or a box” but a source that follows WP:V. Your statement isn’t even true considering that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD and Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania are both mentioned on the RGG website. As other users have pointed out to you, there’s also WP:COMMONNAME, where using the Sonic Team and RGG names seems to best fit. VenFlyer98 (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
