Could this have saved the Dreamcast?
It would only delay the inevitable, I presume.
>>12688335No. Sega would need to disable CD-R's from being able to play on the Dreamcast to prevent piracy from killing the Dreamcast.
>>12688335>this weird gay niche mascot jarpig is gonna save a console with no mainstream appealSomeone tape this faggot to the ceiling
>>12688335Nothing short of dropping a nuke on Sony HQ would've saved it.
>>12688354>jarpig the bot broke
>>12688615I don’t get this “lost cause” narrative surrounding the Dreamcast when it was obvious to everyone that it wouldn’t stand a chance against the PS2, with or without piracy
>>12688624Distinguish it from jarpigs then, lest I decree that the W in WRPG stands for weeb. Really sell me on this hidden gem of a game, this disposable income is burning a hole in my gamussy
Nights it's not a jrpg you fucking bot
PS2 was a gift that Sony didn't deserve.We have not had a real console war since the 90s. For years it's just been Nintendo vs Drooling Corporate Ogre #1 vs Drooling Corporate Ogre #2
>>12688626Piracy Killed The Dreamcast. Without piracy, Dreamcast would have stood a better chance against the PS2. Gamecube would still be a part of the mix. Xbox however would have been in fourth place and dead by 2005.
>>12689894Wrong. The Xbox was largely tied to Sega’s decision to discontinue the Dreamcast.
>>12689940No, it was piracy that lead to the Dreamcast being discontinued. It wasn't tied to the Xbox.
>>12689993Incorrect. You have a very naive and childlike understanding of development timelines.
>>12689996Well your "timeline" explanation is off. There's nothing that suggests that Dreamcast's discontinuation is tied to the Xbox. Even Copilot(pic related) confirms it's not tied to Xbox.
>>12690049It’s been confirmed that Sega and Microsoft were in talks somewhere along the line to have the Xbox potentially be backward compatible with Dreamcast discs.
>>12688626My chad brother in law bought a dreamcast back in the day. I'm not sure why he chose that. I think it was basically the dudebro console before xbox came out.
