## [](#what-is-happening-with-all-the-talent-leaving)What is happening with all the talent leaving?

One can not stop and think that something is happening with all the recent voice talent ‘retiring’ from the series. Their voices are beloved, so WHY would SEGA decide to part ways with them? For now that all seems unclear but we can be very simple about it; Something big is happening with the series … but if that is something we should enjoy … is still something up for debate.

We hope SEGA soon clarifies the situation.
