Sega To Miss Gamescom

Sega has announced they won't be attending Gamescom this year due to commercial reasons. They insist that it has nothing to do with the event itself and doesn't mean they won't ever be attending again, but will be giving this year a miss. So with the official reason being 'a commercial decision' it remains a bit unclear exactly why Sega has decided to stay at home and twiddle its thumbs, but it could possibly be due to a lack of upcoming titles to show or perhaps Sega isn't doing so well financially (they've laid off 73 workers this year). Those points are only speculation, but with Sega missing out on Europe's biggest games show, i'd say we'll be short on details about their upcoming games for a while.
