In a July interview with Famitsu Magazine, SEGA CEO Haruki Satomi acknowledged that the company has lost its merit as a brand, outright stating that “if [they] can’t maintain quality, it would be better to not release anything at all.” Fan response to the publisher and developer vowing to change its ways has been positive, and Satomi believes that they have taken the right first step in earning back their trust. Their newfound philosophy in prioritizing quality over schedule might best be illustrated with the recent decision to delay Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice by one whole year, with the Nintendo 3DS title now being released this fall.

Now, SEGA is eager to take its second step in that right direction, with the company holding an online fan feedback and opinion survey to help them make future releases better. The survey explores themes such as SEGA’s recent history and their position in the contemporary gaming market, asking fans about their experiences with SEGA’s wide catalogue of games, including

Sonic, NiGHTS into Dreams, Jet Set Radio, and many more. A link to the survey is available in the Tweet above.

As for this year alone, SEGA will be putting a lot of their focus on Sonic himself, as the Blue Blur is celebrating his franchise’s 25th anniversary with

special events throughout the year, a commemorative one-shot via Archie Comics in July, the second season of the Sonic Boom cartoon this fall, and three known game releases — the aforementioned Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, and Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for the 3DS later this month and for the Wii U in June.
