In retrospect they made so many fucking excellent games over the span of four years that maybe they left at the right time. Basically Sega's Rareware.

I believe Sega can still be convinced of doing that at some campacity. If NiGHTS got a new game, Jet Set may find a way. It won't be likely, but it definitely has more of a chance than most of Sega's IP given how relatively popular it is.

Acclaim went bankrupt because of shady shit behind the scenes.

What they put out the streets wasn't their work.

It was the work of small groups being pushed around with no way of fighting back.
