But shortly after its launch, things went a little sour. Lots of negative comments arose on store pages for Sega Forever, and a writer for Digital Foundry warned players to stay away from the service – going so far as to call the emulation lousy.
Evans also responded to a top comment on the App Store, which says outright that the Sega Forever service is a joke.
Upon hearing Eurogamer’s suggestion that the launch didn’t go very smoothly, Evans was quick to retort that in spite of some of the louder criticisms of Sega Forever, the overall reception has been positive.
The rest of the interview with Eurogamer follows a very similar pattern of Evans deflecting the negative remarks made by those using Sega Forever. Only time will tell, though, if the service can set itself straight and address all the current user complaints.
Phantasy Star is the title where we need to have the most work, if we’re honest. We had a couple of challenges with Sonic out of the gate with users not being able to disable ads, we submitted an update yesterday and that fixed it. We’ve actively been going back to individual consumers one on one to address those issues. We want them to have the best experience possible."
