Bad Qualities

 * 1) Not only have they created game consoles but also many technologically advanced arcade cabinets with games such as Daytona USA. With also some games, such as Turbo, Space Harrier, and Hang On being notable for having impressive graphics for their times and being earlier examples of sprite scaling. Monaco GP was also an impressive game from 1979, as it had outstanding graphics for the time, as it was made on discrete hardware.
 * 2) The company has a large variety of unique, creative video game franchises, such as Seaman, Total War, Shin Megami Tensei, Yakuza, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 and their famous one being Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * 3) Sega has created many great games (listed above), with a lot of them getting re-releases.
 * 4) They had creative innovative ideas for their consoles, such as the Dreamcast having a modem to be able to play online (albeit somewhat rudimentary due to limitations at the time) out of the box.
 * 5) One of the few Japanese companies that do not keep their Japanese games exclusive to Japan (at least, most of them).
 * 6) They created the first 3D fighting game, Virtua Fighter, which was so impressive at the time that it inspired Sony to turn the PlayStation into a 3D console.
 * 7) They saved Relic Entertainment from being closed down (mainly due to Jason Rubin, president of the late THQ, and co-founder of Naughty Dog, doing a smart move).
 * 8) They used to be a major, but terrible competition for Sony in the early 1990s.
 * 9) Unlike Sony, they're less open-minded towards fan games and don't file DMCA claims against them. They even became worse because of that.
 * 10) During the Genesis/Mega drive times, they allowed their games to be less censored and have blood and gore, unlike Nintendo.
 * 11) They even helped Atlus out of bankruptcy by purchasing their parent company, meaning their games would have been discontinued and Persona 5 wouldn't have been created if Sega didn't purchase Atlus.
 * 12) They're now introducing more Puyo Puyo games to Western Audiences.
 * 13) Not only they even made the Sonic franchise, but they even made the Initial D Arcade Stage series, including Initial D: The Arcade.

Good Qualities

 * 1) After the fall of the Capcom 16, they have finally cancelled the Mario games and
 * 2) Because of their excessive amount of terrible games, they became defunct during 2003.
