Will SEGA keep hold of SEGA.NET... of will they pass it out to another platform vendor... MS/Nintendo/Sony/etc?

Or assuming that SEGA keep hold, and keep it in use for their later games... will it only work for one platforms games? Will only PS2 players be able to use the system... or will all SEGAS's platforms titles work for it?

What are the other vendors gonna think about it?

Will Sony like the multiplayer compo?

Will we ever see GC Vs. DC Vs. XBox Vs. PS2 Vs. PC Quake?!?!?

I don't think Sega will let go of all the Sega domain names and copyright's just yet. They are still supposed to be making another 100 DC titles and even then they will still produce for the PS2 and the GBA and with a bit of luck the Nintendo GAMECUBE.

People wil still want to know more about the hardware, research F.A.Q's and find out about all the Sega peripherals. Sega's hardware section may be 6ft under but the software section is still going strong, Sega are not down and out. Nintendo have stopped producing SNES consoles, this doesn't mean they have given up!

Sega's time will come again, whether it be with software hardware peripherals or making cheese sandwiches! People will still want to find the PSO cheats in years to come, they will still be buying Shenmue in 2 years time for a tenner people will want help on that, Sony aren't going to do it for fun and Sega won't let their fans down....chances are Sega will keep their name and websites to themselves for a long, long time!

Sorry... I didnt mean the rights to their domain names... more the multiplayer site...

Will Sony want SEGA to make their multiplayer games compatible only with Sonys multiplayer site... or will they only be playabel one both?

And equally if so... will Sony say that only the games SEGA make for Sony be able to be played on the site... leaveing MS andNintendo out cold... or will all vendors games created by SEGA be able to use the site?

Will we have cross platform competitions... or will once company sign a deal with SEGA to ensure restrictions?

*Note replace Sony with MS/Nintndeon as desired*

OF course that way they will money but that's the bad thing the phone bills! But of course Sega wouldn't want you to miss out something that good that will be happening in the future, i can't see no reason we can't play online with other console players.
Only the slight difference between modem speeds and graphic resolutions and that's all.
This is the future of gaming after all!

A multi platform FPS huh...

The snobbishness of the PC gamers...
The yobbish PS2 players
The elitist GC plaers...
The die hard Dreamcast players...
And the wholy unknown X-Box plaers!...

Methinks it'll become more teams by console, than by anything else!
