What major financial flop led to the end of the Sega Dreamcast and ultimately caused Sega to stop making game consoles altogether? 1: The founder and CEO of Sega was found to be secretly skimming money off of the top of profits, leading to widespread distrust by the public and a sharp decline in sales until they ultimately had to shut down due to making no profit.

2: A small group of employees found a way to drain all of the Sega Corporation funding accounts and flee the country with all of the money, never to be heard from again.

3: A game called Shenmue, that cost more than $70 million to make, meant that everyone who owned a Dreamcast needed to buy two copies of the game just for Sega to make back the money they had spent to develop it-which didn't happen.

4: A game called Katamari Damacy that carried a virus that would infect any console that it was played on forced Sega to spend millions of dollars in refunds and bankrupted the company.
