That’s because Sega of Japan was jealous of Sega of America making Sonic the Hedgehog popular worldwide through America, so they went and developed the Saturn independently of them and the two companies got mixed up.

That was how Sega stopped making hardware and became another third-party publisher.

Yeah Sega of Japan, particularly Sonic Team, actively refused to provide STI (American dev team) with source code necessary to build the game
