Project Dream/Dreamcast 2 project cancelled

I know a lot of people were both sceptical and supportive of this whole Dreamcast 2 / Project Dream thing. Looks like it's shut down now: http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2016/06/dreamcast-2-project-shuts-down.html

 

Guess I'll keep dreaming.

I signed the original Change.org petition. In the end I expected nothing, but we'll see someday.

 

Such a sad fate, but did anyone genuinely expect a different outcome? Unless someone buys up SEGA and/or their IP related to Dreamcast, I don't see any hope of a successor.

 

I'm assured by a 'source' that talks with Sega did actually happen - as recently as last week. If that's true, then this is a shame.

 

I doubted this would ever be a thing, seems like from that post that the same thing happened to this project which happens to so many other projects: over ambhition and behavior problems.

 

Oh no, I'm so surprised!

 

So they just posted on the petition that it's not dead apparently?

I'm curious to see this prototype they speak of.

 

i expected nothing from this, but am getting weirdly surprised for some reason. I wonder if they'll post what was said between them and sega

what do you expect when bunch of nerds started creating DC2 before asking Sega nor their permission...

 

if i had a dollar for every change.org petition i signed that didnt actually do anything at all, my children and my children's children would never have to work a day in their lives

 

Have you done anything in-depth on its development? As in, something similar to an exposé?

 

I've been contacted by several members of the project, on opposing sides. Its a bit of a mess and I'm happy to just let it lie now to be honest.
