Umm I’m sorry to break this to you buddy but I pirated every dreamcast game I owned short of sonic adventure and Phantsy star online. That’s probably why the dreamcast failed.
Yeah my friend got a Dreamcast and then I pirated all the games for him. It was one of the most awesome consoles ever with amazing games. But the few other people I knew with one at the time also pirated games. It was just so easy because it didn’t even need a modchip or anything. Just download, burn a CD, and play.
I was in college at the time and there were a few of us with Dreamcasts. I bought my games (and still have them), but there were guys with literally every single game in the library burned to disc.

They lost money on the hardware and didn’t make it back on software, so you’re likely right.

A vast majority of the public didn’t do this or know how to do this.
It failed because the PS2 was dominating at the time, and Sega didn’t know how to launch a console, even if they had a gun pointed at their head.

That was me. After it failed I felt like such an asshole 😔
